Abstract
The complex trans-PtCl(p-Tol)(SEt{2}){2} is obtained from the reaction of [Pt(p-Tol){2}(SEt{2})]{2} with PtCl{2}(SEt{2}){2} and SEt{2} in mole ratio 1:2:2. The mono(p-tolyl)platinum(II) and bis(p-tolyl)platinum(II) complexes of diethylsulfide react with 2, 2'-bipyridine to form the complexes PtX(p-Tol)(bpy) (X=p-Tol, Cl) and are useful reagents for organoplatinum chemistry. X-ray crystal structures are presented for square planar PtCl(p-Tol)(bpy) and the centrosymmetric dimer [Pt(p-Tol){2}(@m-SEt{2})]{2}.
