The preparations and spectroscopic characteristics of a range of aromatic ring-substituted aryl(dimethyl)silylmethyl (sila-neophenyl) complexes of platinum(II) with diene-, nitrogen-, and phosphorus-donor ancillary ligands, cis-Pt(CH2SiMe2C6H4R)2L2 (R = H, 2-Me, 3-Me, 4-Me, 4-OMe, 4-(t)Bu, 4-F, 2-CF3, 3-CF3, 4-CF3, 4-NMe2) and cis-Pt(CH2SiMe2C6F5)2L2 [L = PPh3, pyridine (py); L2 = cycloocta-1,5-diene (cod), bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene (nbd)] are reported. Corresponding characteristics for benzylsilylmethylplatinum analogues, cis-Pt(CH2SiMe2CH2C6H4R)2L2, (R = H, 4-Me; L2 = cod; L = PPh3) are also presented.
