[PtCl(C 6 H 4 CH 2 O)(PhCH 2 O)PN(Ph)P(OCH 2 Ph) 2 ],the First Example of an Ortho -Metallated Platinum(II) Complex of a P-N-P Ligand †

Abstract

The reaction of PhN{P(OCH₂Ph)₂}₂ with Pt(COD)Cl₂ at room temperature gives the ortho-metallated complex, 2 via intra C–H activation and the elimination of HCl, as well as the expected cis chelated complex 1.
