Abstract
The reaction of diphenylgermane (Ph2GeH2) with (Ph3P)2Pt(η2-C2H4) provided both mononuclear (Ph3P)2Pt(H)(GePh2H) and dinuclear [(Ph3P)Pt(μ-η2-H-GePh2)]2 complexes. The structure of the dinuclear complex was determined by X-ray crystallography. The dinuclear complex could also be obtained from an unusual exchange reaction involving the unsymmetrical dinuclear complex [(Ph3P)2(H)Pt(μ-SiR2)(μ-η2-H-SiR2)Pt(PPh3)] (SiR2 = SiC20H24) with Ph2GeH2.
