The reaction of HCl on (NBu4)2 or (NBu4)2 can be interrupted after the elimination of one C6Cl5 ligand in the presence of one molar proportion of a neutral ligand L, to give (NBu4) or, (NBu4), respectively.When L is tetrahydrothiophene, it can be displaced by other neutral ligands, and this is of special value in the case of readily protonated ligands.When bidentate ligands (L-L=dppe, 4,4'-bipy) are used, the products are binuclear complexes.Finally, (NBu4) (X=F, Cl) can be obtained by a ligand rearrangement reaction between (NBu4)2 and cis-Pt(C6X5)2(CO)2.
