Abstract

Density functional theory studies of bridge-splitting of [PtIIR2(SEt2)]2 (R = 4-tolyl) by bromoarenes containing nitrogen donor groups, subsequent intramolecular coordination assisted oxidative addition, and reductive elimination elucidate the mechanism for formation of mer-PtII(N,C,N)Br pincers via PtIV, where the pincers have applications in fundamental and applied chemistry. While the research covers the breaking of bridges, it has built a collaborative bridge between Utrecht and Hobart that has stood for over 30 years. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. J. Canty et al. (DOI: 10.1002/chem.202102687).
