Oxidative addition of some mono, di or tetra haloalkanes to organoplatinum(II) complexes

Transformation of Chlorohydrocarbons and Amines in the Coordination Sphere of [(µ‐H)2Os3(CO)10]

“…Therefore, functionalized hydrocarbons, including halocarbons, are mainly used in organic synthesis . For R–X (R = alkyl, alkenyl, aryl; X = Cl, Br, I, F) activation, oxidative addition reactions with low‐valence transition‐metal complexes have been especially well studied . These reactions proceed by a variety of mechanisms, but mostly there is a break in the R–X bond and M–R and M–X bonds are formed.…”

Easy oxidative addition of the carbon–halogen bond by dimethylplatinum(II) complexes containing a related series of diimine ligands: Synthesis, spectral characterization and crystal structure

“…We have previously examined the oxidative addition of a wide range of organic halides to organoplatinum(II) complexes [32]. In continuation of our interest in the investigation of oxidative addition of halo and dihaloalkanes to organoplatinum complexes, we have used several substituted derivatives of 2,2 0 -bipyridine containing alkyl groups to increase the solubility of the Pt(II) complexes.…”

Alkenyl complexes of platinum group metals: a platform for diverse reactivity patterns

“…Metal‐alkyls, alkenyls and metallacycloalkanes are very well documented species among the classical organometallic compounds, and they play a vital role in many synthetic and catalytic reactions . Ever since the preparation of the first metal‐alkenyl complex reported by Green and Smith, valuable insights into the mechanistic details of these reactions have been elucidated, including both thermodynamic and kinetic aspects .…”

“…Ever since the preparation of the first metal‐alkenyl complex reported by Green and Smith, valuable insights into the mechanistic details of these reactions have been elucidated, including both thermodynamic and kinetic aspects . The chemistry of metal‐alkenyls has experienced a notable development during the last few years, in part due to their involvement in different catalytic processes and their applications in organic synthesis, some of which can be found in the currently available literature . M‐alkenyl complexes have been postulated as key intermediates in the Fischer–Tropsch process and ethylene oligomerization reactions including the generation of thin platinum films for micro‐electronic and catalytic applications through the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method .…”

“…Although it might be anticipated that metal‐alkenyls should display similar properties to open‐chain dialkyl transition metal complexes or metallacycles, they exhibit high reactivity due to the involvement of an olefinic double bond. The chemical properties are rather different from other known metal complexes of substituted alkyl or aryl complexes . Since then, the chemistry of metal‐alkenyls of platinum group metals (PGM) has been a current research topic in our laboratories, and a review on the exciting chemistry of metal‐alkenyls would be worthwhile.…”
