Abstract:The 2-adamantyl (2-Ad) group is a particularly challenging alkyl to install on a transition metal, with the only reported 2-adamantyl complexes of platinum being those of Pt(II). The question of whether 2-adamantyl complexes with platinum in the oxidation state +IV can be made and whether they are stable is answered here. The Pt(IV) compound trans-[(bpy)PtMe2(2-Ad)I] (bpy= 2,2’-bipyridine) was synthesized via oxidative addition of iodomethane to [(COD)PtMe(2-Ad)] (COD=1,5-cyclooctadiene) in the presence of bpy… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
