Oxosulfido Complexes of Platinum — (Ph₃P)₂Pt(S₂O) and (Ph₃P)₄Pt₂(μ‐S)(μ‐SO) — Their Formation and Properties

Abstract

Abstract The platinum S 2 O complex [(Ph 3 P) 2 Pt(S 2 O)] ( 10 ) was obtained by S 2 O transfer reactions from tetrathiolane 2‐oxide ( 8 ), tetrathiolane 2,3‐dioxide ( 5 ), and pentathiane 3‐oxide ( 6 ) to [(C 2 H 4 )Pt(PPh 3 ) 2 ] ( 4 ). The S 2 O complex 10 further reacts with 4 to give a novel binuclear platinum complex 16 , which is found to be a source of several platinum S n O m complexes. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
