Abstract
The oxidative-addition reaction of Pt(PEt3)(3) with the phosphine-borane ad ducts PhPH2. BH3 and Ph2PH . BH3 leads to regioselective insertion of the P t(PEt3)(2) fragment into the P-H bond to afford the hydride complexes trans -[PtH(PPhR . BH3)(PEt3)(2)] (R = H 1, R = Ph 2); reaction of 2 with PhPH2. BH3 leads to an unusual ligand exchange reaction which generates 1 and Ph2P H . BH3.
