Abstract

Treatment of 1,2-C6H4(SiH3)(SiH3) (1) with [Pt(depe)(PEt3)2] (depe = Et2PCH2CH2PEt2) in the ratio of 1:1 yields the complex [PtII{1,2-C6H4(SiH2)(SiH2)}(depe)] (2), which has unique reactivity towards sterically unhindered alcohol to form an unusual tetra-alkoxy substituted silyl platinum(II) compound (3). Only 2 examples of bis(silyl)platinum(II) complexes prepared from this chelating hydrosilane ligand have been registered in the Cambridge Structural Database. The structure of complex (3) was unambiguously determined by multinuclear NMR spectroscopic studies and single crystal X-ray analysis.
