The reaction of the adamantanoid compounds [Hg4(EPh)6(L)4][ClO4]2 (E = S or Se, L = PEt3 or PPh3) with [PtMe2(bu2bpy)] (bu2bpy = 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine) occurs easily to give the first examples of cationic thiolate or selenolate derivatives of platinum(IV), [PtMe2(EPh)L(bu2bpy)][ClO4], and the addition is shown to occur with trans stereochemistry. The new complexes are characterized by NMR spectroscopy and when L = PEt3 by X-ray structure determinations. When L = PPh3, a competitive reaction leads to methyl group transfer from platinum to mercury to give MeHgEPh (E = S or Se).
