Abstract
Pt₂(μ-Se)₂(PPh₃)₄ reacts with PtCl₂(cod) to give {Pt₂(μ₃-Se)₂(PPh₃)₄[Pt(cod)]}²⁺ and an unexpected cod-rich product that arises from metal scrambling, viz. {Pt(μ₃-Se)₂(PPh₃)₂[Pt(cod)]₂}²⁺. The formation of these species was detected and followed by electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS) and subsequently verified by batch synthesis and crystallographic characterization. Other metal-scrambled aggregate products were successfully detected.
