Reactions of platinum(II) dihalide complexes with excesses of halogens result in the formation of platinum(IV) tetrahalide complexes. Crystal structures are determined and compared to previous complexes. Unexpectedly, one reaction generated a platinum(IV) tetramethyl complex instead. Further attempts at synthesis and establishing cis/trans equilibria were unsuccessful.
Reactions of the platinum(II) dihalide complexes trans - Pt (X) 2 ( P ( ( CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P ) (X = Cl , trans - 4 ; Br, trans - 6 ) and excess X 2 give the platinum(IV) tetrahalide complexes trans - Pt (X) 4 ( P ( ( CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P ) ( t rans - 5 , t rans - 7 ) in 84-95% yields. Their crystal structures are determined and the PtX n conformations and bond lengths compared to those of trans - 4 and trans - 6 . In one instance, a reaction of trans - 6 and MeMgBr (2.4 equiv) gave not the precedented product cis - Pt ( Me ) 2 ( P ( ( CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P ) , but rather a small amount of the platinum(IV) tetramethyl complex trans - Pt ( Me ) 4 ( P ( ( CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P ) ( trans - 8 ), as verified crystallographically and by diagnostic NMR signals. Independent syntheses were attempted. Reactions of trans - 5 or trans - 7 with excesses of common sources of Me - were unsuccessful. Thus, the free dibridgehead diphosphine P((CH 2 ) 14 ) 3 P, which can incorporate PtX 2 to give trans - 4 or trans - 6 , was treated with the PtMe 4 source Pt 2 Me 8 ( & mu;SMe 2 ) 2 . However, this gave instead the isomeric species cis - 8 , and attempts to establish cis / trans equilibria were unsuccessful.
