Synthesis and Reaction of Organoplatinum Compounds of C60, C60Ptn

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1994.1207

The organoplatinum compound of C60, C60Ptn (n=1-2), was prepared either by the reaction of C60 with Pt(dba)2 or by the thermal disproportionation of C60Ptn (n=ca. 1).The C60Ptn obtained catalyzed the hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene regardless of the platinum content.Cleavage of carbon-platinum bonds of C60Ptn (n=ca. 1) was accomplished by the reactions with phosphines or phosphites, which provided general access to (η²-C60)PtL2 .
