Reaction of with Ph2PCH2SCH3 yields cis- which, on treatment with AgBF4, is converted to BF4, in which one of the ligands is chelated.With , cis- reacts to give the platinum(I) complex , which contains a platinum-platinum bond.The terminal chlorides may be replaced by iodide, but the complex is cleaved by carbon monoxide. reacts with Ph2PCH2SCH3 to produce , whereas with Ph2PCH2CH2SCH3 it yields .A ligand exchange reaction occurs between cis- and to give cis- and .
