The preparation and properties of some triphenylarsine- and triphenylstibine-stabilized organoplatinum(II) compounds

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ic50080a028

The reaction of alkyl- and arylplatinum(II)-olefin complexes with triphenylarsine and triphenylstibine yields a series of compounds of the type L₂PtR₂, where L is(C₆H₅)₈As or (C₆H₅)₈Sb and R is a σ-bonded aryl or alkyl group. The properties of these compounds differ with the size of the stabilizing ligand and the position of substitution on the benzene ring. These properties are reported and discussed.
