New cyciopropene complexes of platinum have been synthesised with a variety of bulky substituents on all positions of the cyciopropene ring. Two of these novel complexes, [Pt(3,3-Ph3C3H2)(PPh3)2] and [Pt(1,2-Ph2C3H2)(PPh3)2J, have been structurally characterised by X-ray analysis. Both contain a cyciopropene ring which has remained intact upon complexation. The bond lengths within the complexes are remarkably independent of the substituents. The structural characteristics and the 31P NMR spectra of these complexes are discussed in detail.
