Platinum(II) chloride can selectively be coordinated to the 2,2′-bipyridine moiety of the alkyl bridged sequential catechol/2,2′-bipyridine ligand 1 a-H2 and of the related ligands 1a/b-Me2 and 2. Reaction of (1b-Me2)PtCl2 with BBr3 produces the platinum(II) complex (1b-H2)PtCl2 while ether cleavage of the uncoordinated ligand 1b-Me2 fails. Under basic conditions (1a-H2)PtCl2 forms polymeric/ oligomeric species [(1a)Pt]n besides traces of the dinuclear complex [(1a)Pt]2.
