Abstract

Reactions of trans,trans-(C6F5)(p-tol 3P)2Pt(C≡C)nPt(P-p-tol3) 2(C6F5) (n = 3, 4) and Ph2P(CH 2)3PPh2 (2.5 equiv) give the tetraplatinum complexes trans,trans, trans,trans-(C6F 5)Pt(C≡C)nPt(C6F5)(PPh 2(CH2)3Ph2P)2-(C 6F5)Pt(C≡C)nPt(C6F 5)(PPh2(CH2)3Ph2P) 2 (95-81%), in which two sp carbon chains span two 12-membered-ring termini. Chain-chain interactions have been probed by crystallography, UV-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and thermolyses.
