Isonitrile complexes of platinum(II) and their reactions with alcohols and amines to give carbene complexes
Miss E. M. Badley, J. Chatt and R. L. Richards
The preparation and i.r. and n.m.r. spectra of the series of complexes cis-[PtX2(RNC)(PR13)](X = Cl, Br, or I; RNC = MeNC, EtNC, PhNC, or p-MeC6H4NC and PR13= PEt3, PEt2Ph, or PMe2Ph) are described. These complexes react with alcohols or primary amines under mild conditions to give carbene complexes of the type cis-[PtCl2{C(Q)NHR}(PR13)](Q = OMe, OEt, or OPri, NHPh, NHMe, NHEt, or NHBus and R = Ph or Me). The i.r. spectra and structure of these complexes are discussed. The isonitrile complexes give hydrocarbons on reduction which must originate from the isocyanide carbon atom. No other products of reduction could be characterised.
