Abstract
The addition of cyclopropane to H 2PtCl 6 yields the Pt-cyclopropane complex PtCI 2(C 3H 6), whereas addition of cyclopropane to Zeise's acid HPtCl 3(C 2H 4) in EtOH or to Zeise's dimer [PtCI 2(C 2H 4)] 2 in CH 2CI 2, CHCI 3, or EtOH gives the isomeric olefin dimer [PtCl 2(CH 3CHCH 2)] 2. The two isomeric complexes can be readily interconverted by bubbling either cyclopropane or propylene through solutions of either the olefin dimer or the cyclopropane complex, respectively. It is concluded that in the reaction of cyclopropane with Zeise's complex, the cyclopropane simultaneously opens to propylene and displaces ethylene from the complex.
