“…At room temperature, it gives rise to abroad 13 C{ 1 H} NMR resonance at 102.2 ppm, with as hift of the olefin coordination to lower frequencies relative to C 2 H 4 .F or comparison, in dicationic [Pt(PNP)(C 2 H 4 )] 2+ , Dd = À45 ppm. [7c,30] This observation is indicative of asignificantly decreased contribution of p backdonation in complex 4, [31] which is in agreement with the high p-acidity of the Pt II center in 2·S.C omplex 4 is nonetheless stable at 20 8 8Ctowards C 2 H 4 migratory insertion into the PtÀ Me bond, although under excess C 2 H 4 (2 bar), 4 becomes acatalyst precursor for C 2 H 4 dimerization [22,28,29] above 55 8 8C (see the Supporting Information). Related diimine Pt catalysts required heating for 2days at 100 8 8C.…”
