The compound (2-Cy2PC6H4) 2SiMe2 (1) reacted readily with Pt(PPh3) 4 to undergo Si-C(sp3) bond cleavage and form the Pt II species (Cy-PSiP)PtMe (2, Cy-PSiP = κ3-(2-Cy 2PC6H4)2SiMe-). The silane 1 also undergoes Si-C(sp3) bond activation with the Pt II precursor [(Me2S)PtMe2]2 to generate 2. Two intermediate species were observed in situ during the reaction of 1 with [(Me2S)PtMe2]2. One intermediate was tentatively assigned as the bis(phosphino) PtII species (κ2-Cy-PSiP)PtMe2 (4), which was crystallographically characterized. A second intermediate (5) was tentatively assigned as the PtIV species (Cy-PSiP)PtMe3 resulting from Si-C(sp3) bond cleavage in 4. In an effort to prepare a (Cy-PSiP)PtIV species that may serve as a model for 5, complex 2 was reacted with MeI and I2, respectively; both reactions resulted in the quantitative formation of (Cy-PSiP)PtI (6), which could also be independently prepared by the reaction of (COD)PtI2 with (Cy-PSiP)H. The reaction of (Cy-PSiP)H with PtMe3I resulted in the formation of a Pt IV species (7) as the major product. Complex 7 was tentatively assigned as (Cy-PSiP)PtMe2I, and undergoes relatively facile elimination of ethane to form 6.
