“…IR absorption spectra were recorded on a Shimadzu FT/IR-8100 spectrometer. Et 2 NSiPh 2 À BOCMe 2 CMe 2 À O, 10 Pd(PCy 3 ) 2 , 31 Pt-(PCy 3 ) 2 , 32 and Pt(SiHPh 2 ) 2 (PMe 3 ) 2 33 were prepared according to the reported procedure. HCtCPh, PhCtCPh, HCtCC 6 H 4 Me-4, and (d, 36H, PCH 3 , 2 J PÀH = 6.4 Hz, 3 J PtÀH = 18 Hz), 7.18 (t, 4H, C 6 H 5 para, 3 J HÀH = 7.5 Hz), 7.33 (t, 8H, C 6 H 5 meta, 3 J HÀH = 7.5 Hz), 8.23 (d, 8H, C 6 H 5 ortho, 3 J HÀH = 7.5 Hz).…”
