Abstract
The dihydride complexes of platinum(II), trans-PtH 2L 2(L = PCy 3, PCy 2-i-Pr, and PCy 2Et(Cy = cyclohexyl), have been prepared by the reaction of platinum(II) acetylacetonate with trialkylaluminium in the presence of bulky tertiary phosphine ligands in ether. A trans-square planar structure is proposed on the bases of IR and 1H NMR spectral studies. The dihydride complexes react with carbon tetrachloride giving equimolar quantities of chloroform and the corresponding monohydride complexes of the type trans-PtHClL 2(L = PCy 3 and PCy 2-i-Pr). The analogous dihydride complex of palladium(II), trans-PdH 2(PCy 3) 2, has been isolated from the similar reaction using tricyclohexylphosphine as a ligand. Comparison of the dihydride complexes with the corresponding mono-hydride complexes is described.
