Zero-valence platinum complex [Pt(dppe)(η2-C 2H4)] (1, dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane) treated with disilanes HR1R2SiSiMe3 (a, R1 = R2 = Me; b, R1 = R2 = Ph; c, R1 = H, R2 = Ph) afforded the corresponding disilanylplatinum hydrides [Pt(dppe)(H)(SiR1R2SiMe3)] (2a-c) by oxidative addition of the Si-H bond to the platinum center. The 1,2-silyl migration in 2a,b led to the formation of bis(silyl)platinum complexes [Pt(dppe)(SiHR 1R2)(SiMe3)] (3a,b) with a first-order rate constant of 7.2(2) × 10-4 s-1 at 25°C for 2a and 3.86(4) × 10-4 s-1 at 40°C for 2b, whereas 2c with R1 = H followed by the transient generation of 3c dimerized rapidly to give the bis(μ-silylene)diplatinum complex [Pt(dppe)(μ-SiHPh)] 2 (4c) in a mixture of cis/trans isomers. Heating of the toluene solution of 3b at 100°C resulted in a similar dimerization to 4b. In addition, a trinuclear platinum complex [Pt3(dppe) 3(μ3-SiPh)2] (5) with a trigonal bipyramidal Pt3Si2 core arose from the reaction of 4c with 1 at 60°C in toluene. Unsymmetric disilanes therefore accomplished the syntheses of various monomeric and dimeric platinum complexes via 1,2-hydrogen and silyl migration to the platinum center.
