Facial–Meridional Isomerization and Reductive Elimination in [(R2P‑o‑C6H4)2N]PtMe3 (R = Ph, iPr)

Treatment of PtMe3I in tetrahydrofuran with either in situ prepared [R-PNP]Li ([R-PNP]− = [(R2P-o-C6H4)2N]−; R = Ph, iPr) or H­[R-PNP] in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature affords quantitatively fac-[R-PNP]­PtMe3. Thermolysis of fac-[R-PNP]­PtMe3 in benzene solutions generates mer-[R...

Description
Summary:Treatment of PtMe3I in tetrahydrofuran with either in situ prepared [R-PNP]Li ([R-PNP]− = [(R2P-o-C6H4)2N]−; R = Ph, iPr) or H­[R-PNP] in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature affords quantitatively fac-[R-PNP]­PtMe3. Thermolysis of fac-[R-PNP]­PtMe3 in benzene solutions generates mer-[R-PNP]­PtMe3 and ultimately [R-PNP]­PtMe and ethane. Complexes mer-[R-PNP]­PtMe3 represent the first meridional trialkylplatinum­(IV) derivatives to date.
