Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)99737-7

(2+) (CN-xylyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide) and (2+) have been synthesized by reaction of with either and CN-xylyl or (2+).The products have been characterised by (31)P<(1)H> and (195)Pt<(1)H> NMR spectroscopy, and a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of the trinuclear compound has demonstrated that the skeletal atoms are linear.
