Abstract

Treatment of platinum σ-acetylide complexes trans-Pt(PR3)2(569-01569-02)2(1) with two equivalents of Co2(CO)8 gave complexes trans-Pt(PR3)2(568-032-[Co2(CO)6]R′)2(3) and (4), where R = Et or n-Bu and R′ = H or SiMe3, in high yields. The unsubstituted platinum-alkyne-cobalt complex (i.e. R′ = H) reacted with alkenes (norbornylene or cyclopentene) to produce new platinum acetylides containing 2-cyclopentenone groups. All new compounds were characterized by i.r., u.v.-vis. and n.m.r. (1H, 31P, 13C) spectroscopies.
