Abstract
The cationic monoalkylated derivatives of the well-known metalloligand [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄], viz. [Pt₂(μ-S)(μ-SR)(PPh₃)₄]⁺ (R = n-Bu, CH₂Ph) are themselves able to act as metalloligands towards the Ph₃PAu⁺ and R′Hg⁺ (R′ = Ph or ferrocenyl) fragments, by reaction with Ph₃PAuCl or R′HgCl, respectively. The resulting dicationic products [Pt₂(μ-SR)(μ-SAuPPh₃)(PPh₃)₄]²⁺ and [Pt₂(μ-SR)(μ-SHgR′)(PPh₃)₄]²⁺ are readily isolated as their hexafluorophosphate salts, and have been fully characterised by spectroscopic techniques and an X-ray structure determination on [Pt₂(μ-SR)(μ-SHgFc)(PPh₃)₄](PF₆)₂.
