At 220-250 deg C, in the presence of + in aqueous solution, α-hydroxypropanoic acid (lactic acid) is converted into propanoic, propenoic, β-hydroxypropanoic, pyruvic and acetic acids.The reactions catalysed by + appear to be double bond hydration and hydrogenation, alcohol dehydration, transfer hydrogenation, decarbonylation and the water-gas shift reaction.Propenoic acid under similar conditions gives similar products.Attempts to catalyse the dehydrocarboxylation of lactic acid using PdCl2, , and were partially successful, although competing disproportionation gave a wide range of products.

The photochemistry of the complexes trans-trans monohydrido-bridged [(PEt3)2HPt(μ-H)PtH(PEt3) 2][BPh4] (1) and trans-cis dihydrido-bridged [(PEt3)2HPt(μ-H)2Pt(PEt3) 2][BPh4] (2) is reported. Photolysis of 1 and 2 using 334-nm light occurs with good quantum yields to give trans-[PtH2(PEt3)2] (3a) and trans-[PtH(S)(PEt3)2]+ (4) (S = solvent, e.g. acetonitrile). Photoproducts 3a and 4 are highly reactive and undergo a multiplicity of reactions depending upon experimental conditions. Evidence of H2 elimination, photoinduced insertion of CO2 into the Pt-H bond of 3a, and abstraction of Cl from chlorocarbon solvents by 3a and 4 is reported.
