Abstract

The C-H activation in Shilov's system on cis- and trans-PtCl(2)(H(2)O)(CH(4)) was investigated by ab initio molecular dynamics in water. Simulations revealed an easy C-H bond cleavage forming a transient 5-coordinated species Pt(H)Cl(2)(H(2)O)(CH(3)) that spontaneously releases a proton to the bulk solution.
