The reaction of [PtCl(PPh(3))(3)]Cl with AgO3SCF3 in CHCl3/MeOH at amb
ient temperature gives [Pt(PPh(2)C(6)H(4))(PPh(3))(2)]O3SCF3 (3) in qu
antitative yield within a few minutes. The cyclometallated complex 3 h
as been characterized by H-1, C-13, P-31 and Pt-195 NMR spectroscopies
. Complete H-1 and C-13 assignments have been made by use of various o
ne- and two-dimensional NMR techniques.
