The dinuclear Pt(II) complex Pt2(CH3)4 (1; ttab = 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(1-N-7-azaindolyl)benzene) has been found to activate multiple benzene molecules by cleaving a C-H bond in the presence of[H(Et2O)2][BAr′4] (Ar′ = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl). The unprecedented dinuclear Pt(II) product [Pt2(CH3)(SMe2)Ph 2-(ttab)][BAr′4] (2), which contains two phenyl groups on one Pt(II) center, has been isolated from the 1:1 reaction of 1 with [H(Et2O)2][BAr′4]. The novel dinuclear Pt(II) complex [Pt2(H2O)2Ph 2(ttab)][BAr′4]2 (3) has been isolated from the 1:2 reaction of 1 with [H(Et2O)2][BAr′ 4] when reagent-grade solvents were used in the recrystallization process. The structures of 2 and 3 have been established by X-ray diffraction analyses.
