Abstract:Aerobic oxidation of a dimethylplatinum(II) complex featuring 1,1-di(2-pyridyl)ethanol as a supporting ligand leads to the formation of two unexpected Pt IV complexes (in ∼1:1 ratio), neither of which results from direct oxidation typical for Pt II centers supported by popular κ 2 -(N,N) ligands. While one product features an isomerized Pt IV center stabilized by the κ 3 -(N,N,O) ligand coordination mode, surprisingly, the other product results from intramolecular activation of the ligand methyl fragment.
