Pf. Kelly et al., The preparation of the first examples of sulfimide complexes of platinum; the X-ray crystal structure of [Pt(Ph2SNH)(4)]Cl-2, POLYHEDRON, 19(18-19), 2000, pp. 2077-2081
The reactivity of S,S-diphenylsulfimide, Ph2SNH, (1) towards platinum compl
exes has been investigated. Solutions of 1 and [PtCl2(PMe2Ph)(2)] show an e
quilibrium between the starting materials and cis-[PtCl(Ph2SNH)(PMe2Ph)(2)]
Cl; addition of [NH4][BF4] generates pure cis-[PtCl(Ph2SNH)(PMe2Ph)(2)][BF4
] (2). Four equivalents of 1 react with [PPh4](2)[PtCl4] over a period of d
ays to give crystalline [Pt(Ph2SNH)(4)]Cl-2 (3); the crystal structure of 3
confirms the expected square planar geometry with significant H-bonding in
teractions between the cation and the chlorides. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science
