Abstract/Summary

Cationic heterobimetallic complexes 5–7 [(PPh3)2Pt(μ-edt)MClCp′)]BF4 (edt=−S(CH2)2S−; 5: M=Rh and Cp′=η5-C5H5; 6: M=Rh and Cp′=η5-C5Me5 and 7: M=Ir and Cp′=η5-C5Me5) were prepared by reaction of [Pt(edt)(PPh3)2] with [Cp′ClM(μ-Cl)2MClCp′] in THF in the presence of two equivalents of AgBF4. The crystalline structure of 5 was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Cationic heterobimetallic complexes [(PPh3)2Pt(μ-S(CH2)2S)MClCp′)]BF4 (M=Rh, Ir) were prepared. The crystalline structure of [(PPh3)2Pt(μ-edt)RhClCp)]BF4 was determined by X-ray diffraction methods.
