D. Weiss et al., [Pt-2(GaCp*)(2)(mu(2)-GaCp*)(3)]: structure and bonding situation of the first homoleptic platinum complex with terminal and bridging Cp*Ga ligands, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 2000, pp. 2495-2496
A new homoleptic diplatinum complex [Pt-2(GaCp*)(2)(mu (2)-GaCp*)(3)] (Cp*
= pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) exhibiting a central unit of two platinum at
oms coordinated by five Cp*Ga groups acting as terminal as well as bridging
ligands, was synthesized by the reaction of tris(ethylene)platinum(0) with
an excess of (Cp*Ga)(6) and was characterized by structural and quantum ch
emical methods.
