Photochemically induced reductive elimination of ethane from a binuclear methylplatinum complex

Photolysis (362 ± 7 nm) of [Pt2Me3(μ-dppm)2][PF6], dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2, in pyridine leads to fragmentation to [PtMe2(dppm)] and [PtMe(py)(dppm)]-[PF6] (Φ = 0.6), but in MeCN (Φ = 0.1), acetone (Φ = 1.2 ± 0.3), or CH2Cl2 (Φ = 2.0 ± 0.1) photolysis gives a new reaction involving reductive elimination of ethane, followed by further reactions dependent on the solvent. Reductive elimination is at least partially intramolecular as shown by labeling studies.
