Unusual oxidation of dichalcogenido complexes of platinum
Novel platinum complexes having an oxochalcogenido ligand such as S2O, Se2O, S2O3, and SeO3 were synthesized by the oxidation reactions of the overcrowded dichalcogenido platinum complexes [(BbtMe(2)P)(2)PtX2] (Bbt = 2,6-bis[bis(trimethylsilyl)methyl]-4-[tris(trimethylsilyl)methyl]phenyl; X = S, Se).
