Abstract

The complex [Pt(CO3)(SEt2)(PEt3)] reacts readily with SnR3H (R = p-MeC6H4) in MeOH to give a hexaco-ordinate PtIV complex in which the ligands are PEt 3, H (these two being trans to one another), R3Sn IV, R2SnII, and 2 × R2(MeO) SnIV, with the OMe groups of the last ligands bridging to the R 2SnII centre; the four Sn and two O atoms lie approximately in a plane, with the Pt atom 0.48 Å out of this plane towards the PEt3 ligand.
