Abstract
Platinum(IV) complexes containing a c&-hydridohydrocarbyl arrangement have been obtained selectively on reaction of halotrimethylsilanes with bis(hydrocarbyl)(N,N-chelate)platinum(II) complexes. Hydrocarbon reductive elimination can be observed subsequently in solution. Keywords." Platinum; Hydride; Oxidative addition; Reductive elimination
It is generally accepted [1] that the cleavage of the P t n - C bond by protic acids occurs by a mechanism involving the oxidative addition of the electrophile to the metal, followed by the reductive elimination of hydrocarbon. A kinetic study, consistent with this mechanism has been also reported [2]. To the best of our knowledge a six-coordinate PtW-hydridohydrocar byl intermediate has never been isolated, although s o m e examples of Pt w hydrido complexes have been described [3]. By reaction of SiMe3X (X = CI or Br) with [PtR 2 (dmphen)] (dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-l,10-phenanthroline; R = Me, or 4-MeOC6H 4) in wet a c e t o n e / diethyl ether, fairly stable Pt tv complexes, formally deriving by H X oxidative addition [4], were isolated in good yield as white precipitates. Generally, the water content in the reagent-grade commercial solvents was sufficient to ensure complete hydrolysis of the halosilanes, yielding electrophilic HX. [PtR2(dmphen)] + SiMe3X + H 2 0 = [ P t ( H ) X R 2 ( d m p h e n ) ] + SiMe3OH

The presence of a P t - H bond in the products is indicated by a medium absorption band in the IR spectrum at ca. 2300 cm -1, and a singlet in the 1H NMR spectrum at ca. - 2 2 6 (JPtH ca. 1400 Hz). In principle, four different stereochemical arrangements are possible, as indicated below for [Pt(H)XMe2(dmphen)] (X = C1 or Br; 1, 2). H

The type I structure is commonly observed [5] as the result of a trans addition in the reaction of electrophiles to cis-[PtR2L2]. In our case, however, the non-equivalence of the two halves of the symmetric dmphen and of the two Pt-bound methyl groups in the ~H N M R spectrum rules out this geometry, as well as II. The large value of the P t - H coupling constant for the hydride is considered diagnostic [3b] for a hydride trans to a pttV-bound nitrogen, favours structure IV over structure IIl. This stereochemical arrangement could be a consequence of the steric demands of the dmphen [6]. The 1H N M R spectrum of the mother liquor when the solvent was acetone-d 6 showed no evidence for plat-
