(Chemical Equation Presented) Kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) have been used to probe the mechanism of the binding of O2 to classic inorganic compounds. The intermolecular 18O KIEs decrease with increasing rate constants, and the corr

Electrochemical reduction of cis-[PtCl2(PR3)2] (R = Ph, Et) in CH3CN/C6H6 containing NBu4ClO4 at a Hg pool electrode generates [Pt(PR3)2] equivalents in solution. Where R = Ph, the [Pt(PR3)2] equivalent may be trapped by O2, O2/CO2, HCl, MeI, C6H5COCl, and RC≡CR (R = Ph, COOMe) but not by the less reactive substrate PhCl. Where R = Et, the [Pt(PR3)2] equivalent reacts with the NBu4+ cation to ultimately generate trans-[PtH(Cl)(PEt3)2]. Prolonged electrolyses cause reduction of trans-[PtH(Cl)(PEt3)2] leading to hydride attack on the CH3CN solvent and ultimately forming trans-[PtH(CH2CN)(PEt3)2]. In the presence of bases such as NBu3, trans-[PtH(CH2CN)(PEt3)2] is isomerized in CH3CN solution producing trans-[PtCN(CH3)(PEt3)2]. The use of electroinactive trapping agents such as PhCl or PhCN as cosolvents for the reduction of cis-[PtCl2(PEt3)2] allows trapping of the [Pt(PEt3)2] equivalents as trans-[PtPh-(X)(PEt3)2] (X = Cl, CN).
