The reactions of [Pt2Me4(μ-SMe2)2] (1) with pyridine-imines 2-(CH= NCHRR′)C5H4N [R = H, R′ = 2-BrC6H4 (2a) ; R = H, R′ = 2,4-Cl2C6H3 (2b) ; R = Me, R′ = C6H5 (2c)] or diamines Me2N(CH2)2N(Me)CH2R [R = 2-BrC6H4 (5d) ; R = C6F5 (5e) ; R = C6H5 (5f)] result in the formation of complexes [PtMe2{2-(CH= NCHRR′)C5H4N}] (3) and [PtMe2{Me2N(CH2)2N(Me)CH 2R}] (6), respectively, in which the ligand is coordinated through the two nitrogen atoms to platinum, but such reactions fail to produce metallation at the benzyl group. The reactivity of the more flexible diamines Me2N(CH2)3N(Me)CH2R [R = 2-BrC6H4 (5g) ; R = C6F5 (5h) ; R - C6H5 (5i)] was also tested in the presence of [Pt2Me4(μ-SMe2)2] (1). While 5h and 5i failed to react, activation of a C - Br bond to produce the platinum(IV) compound [PtMe2Br{Me2N(CH2)3N (Me)CH2C6H4}] (7g), which contains a terdentate (C,N,N′) ligand, was achieved with 5g. Compounds 3 reacted readily with methyl iodide to afford platinum(IV) compounds [PtMeI2-(CH=NCHRR′)C5H4] (4).
