P-31 NMR spectroscopy measurements were used to establish the course for th
e stoichiometric-dependent reactions between [Au(PPh3)](+) and [Pt(C drop C
Ph)(2)(dppf)] (1), which for equimolar amounts afford as the unique product
[Pt-{eta (3)-C(C drop CPh)double bondC(Ph)Au(PPh3)}(dppf)](+) (2), but any
excess of 1 gives also [Pt(eta (2)-PhC drop CC drop CPh)(dppf)] (3) [dppf
= 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphine)ferrocene]. Both compounds 2 and 3 were obtain
ed straightforwardly by the reactions of 3 with [Au(PPh3)](+) and [Pt(C2H4)
(dppf)] with 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne, respectively. The X-ray crystal structu
re analysis of 3 confirmed a trigonal-planar coordination geometry about th
e platinum atom, and a bent eta (2)-coordinated diyne ligand. (C) 2000 Else
