F. Giordano et al., COORDINATIVELY SATURATED PT(II) COMPLEXES AS POTENTIAL PRECURSORS OF ORGANOMETALLIC POLYMERS, Inorganica Chimica Acta, 239(1-2), 1995, pp. 61-66
The synthesis of stable Pt(II) coordinatively saturated derivatives su
itable as precursors of organometallic polymers is described. Compound
s of the type [PtX(2)(dmphen) (olefin)] (X = CN, SCN; dmphen = 2,9-Me(
2)-1,10-phenanthroline) are obtained by oxidative addition to Pt(0) sp
ecies. The unprecedent fission of activated carbon-carbon bonds to giv
e 18 e(-) Pt(II) species is described. The solid state structure of [P
t(SCN)(2)(dmphen) (dimethylmaleate)] has been determined by X-ray crys
tallography. Vinyl monomers [PtCl(RCH=CH2)-(dmphen)(dimethylmaleate)]
(R = CO2, CH2CO2) have also been obtained.
