ligand exchange upon treatment with NaCN in ethanol
resulting in the formation of Pt(CN)2(2,2-dppp) [8].
Similar complexes have been described with the tripo-
dal ligand 1,1,1-triphos (1,1,1-tris(diphenylphosphino-
methyl)ethane) to form Pt(CN)2(1,1,1-triphos) wherein
two of the three phosphorus atoms of the ligand are
coordinated to platinum at low temperature and its
fluxional behaviour involving the corresponding five-co-
ordinate complex has been investigated [7,9].

The PtCl2(diphosphine)-type complexes were prepared
according to the literature [10]. The solvents were dried
by conventional methods [11], distilled and kept under
argon.
The 13C and 31P NMR spectra were recorded in CDCl3
with TMS (internal standard) and H3PO4 (85%) (external
standard), respectively. The spectra were recorded on a
Varian Unity 300 and a Varian Inova 400 spectrometers
at 75.4 and 100.58 MHz (13C NMR measurements) and
121.42 and 161.9 MHz (31P NMR measurements), re-
spectively.

A solution of 0.534 g (1 mmol) triphos in 3 ml of
benzene was added to the refluxing yellow solution of
0.472 g (1 mmol) PtCl2(PhCN)2. After a few minutes fine
white precipitate was formed. The mixture was stirred for
1 h then cooled to room temperature (r.t.). The solid was
filtered off, washed with benzene, and dried under
reduced pressure to give [Pt(triphos)Cl]Cl as white pow-
der.

2.2. The preparation of a Pt(CN)2(diphosphine)
complex
The PtCl2(diphosphine) complex (0.5 mmol) was
added to the solution of potassium cyanide (1 mmol)
dissolved in 15 ml methanol. The powder did not dissolve
but was kept in suspension at 50°C with constant stirring
for 10 h. The white powder-like crystals were filtered,
washed with water, methanol and ether then dried. The
recrystallization was carried out in benzene–methanol
mixture.
