Abstract
Elemental sulfur (S8) has been found to insert only one sulfur atom into the metal−hydride bonds of the platinum alkyl and aryl hydride complexes [(dcpe)PtRH] (dcpe = Cy2PC2H4PCy2). Unlike the parent compounds, the S-inserted complexes do not undergo reductive elimination to form the corresponding alkane- or arenethiols. Methane is lost from the methyl sulfhydryl complex. Sulfur dioxide was also found to insert into a platinum−methyl bond to form the corresponding S-bound sulfinate, which upon reacting with mineral acids generates methylsulfinic acid.
