Notes
(1H, 13C{1H}, and 31P{1H}) spectra were obtained on a J EOL
Lamda 300 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts were refer-
enced to internal Me4Si (1H and 13C{1H}) and to external 85%
H3PO4 (31P{1H}). Pt(SiHPh2)2L2 (L ) PMe3, PEt3) complexes
were prepared by the literature method.4
P r ep a r a tion of 1-4. To a Schlenk flask containing Pt-
(SiHPh2)2(PMe3)2 (0.181 g, 0.253 mmol) was added THF (6 mL)
and tert-butyl isocyanide (0.021 g, 0.253 mmol) in that order.
After stirring for 24 h at room temperature, the reaction
mixture was completely evaporated under vacuum, and then
the resulting residue was solidified with hexane at -30 °C.
The solids were filtered and washed with hexane (2 × 2 mL).
Recrystallization from THF/hexane gave white crystals of Pt-
(SiHPh2)2(CN-t-Bu)(PMe3), 1 (0.330 g, 67%).

isomerism behavior between complexes 1 and 4 seem
to arise from the different steric requirements of the
phosphine ligands (PMe3 in 1 and PEt3 in 4).9 Previ-
ously, Ozawa and co-workers10 reported that CO, which
is isoelectronic with isocyanide, selectively inserted into
the Pt-C bond of alkylsilyl platinum(II) complexes and
proposed the formation of an intermediate of CO-
coordinated Pt(II) complexes. The corresponding iso-
cyanide insertion into the Pt-Si bond does not occur
under our reaction conditions. In fact, CO or CNR
inserion into the Pt-Si bond has never been reported.
Tanaka and co-workers previously reported that bis-
(silyl) Pt(II) complexes reductively eliminated to give a
disilane in the presence of PR3 as a two-electron donor.1d
By contrast, Braddock-Wilking et al. recently showed
that the Pt-Si bond remained intact in the reactions
of R3P-Pt-Si complexes with another PR′3.3i,l
In summary, we synthesized four new unsymmetrical
bis(silyl) platinum(II) complexes {Pt(SiHPh2)2(CNR)-
(PR′3)}, by replacing one phosphine ligand of bis-
(phosphine) platinum complexes with isocyanide, which
might be considered as intermediates in organic sub-
strate insertion into the Pt-Si bond to give organic
silylated compounds. The relative orientation of the two
silyl ligands (that is, cis-trans isomerization) of these
platinum compounds in solution appears to be depend-
ent on temperature and ancillary ligands.
