Dinuclear platinum complexes with designer thiolate ligands from the monoalkylation of [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄]. Inorganica Chimica Acta, Available online 14 July 2010.https://hdl.handle.net/10289/4218Alkylation reactions of the nucleophilic platinum(II) sulfide complex [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃)₄]with functionalised alkylating agents have been investigated as a versatile synthetic route to dinuclear, cationic sulfide-thiolate complexes of the type [Pt₂(μ-S)(μ-SR)(PPh₃)₄]+, extending the range of thiolate complexes that can be prepared using this methodology. A wide range of functional groups can be incorporated, using appropriate alkylating agents, and include ketone, ester, amide, hydrazone, semicarbazone, thiosemicarbazone, oxime, guanidine, urea and thiourea groups.application/pdfenThis is an author’s accepted version of an article published in the journal: Inorganica Chimica Acta. © 2010 Elsevier.platinum complexessulfido complexesthiolate complexescrystal structurealkylation reactions healthJournal Article10.1016/j.ica.2010.07.011
