PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF SOME TRIPHENYLARSINE- AND TRIPHENYLSTIBINE-STABILIZED ORGANOPLATINUM(2) COMPOUNDS

The reaction of alkyl- and arylplatmum(II)-olefin complexes with triphenylarsine and triphenylstibine yields a series of compounds of the type L2PtR2, where L is(C6H5)3As or (C6H5)3Sb and R is a σ-bonded aryl or alkyl group. The properties of these compounds differ with the size of the stabilizing ligand and the position of substitution on the benzene ring. These properties are reported and discussed. © 1969, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
