Addition of RNC to the heterobimetallic acyl complex [(OC) 3 Fe{µ-Si(OMe) 2 (OMe)}(µ-dppm)-Pt{C(O)Me}] (1a), which displays a µ-η 2 -Si-O bridge, afforded the isonitrile adductsUpon treatment of a CH 2 Cl 2 solution of 1a with MeO 2 CCtCCO 2 Me (DMAD), alkyne insertion into the Pt-C bond gave the alkenyl complex [(OC) 3 Fe{µ-Si(OMe) 2 (OMe)}(µ-dppm)Pt-were isolated after addition of RNC. A more complex reaction occurred when phenylacetylene or tertbutylacetylene were reacted with 1a. The iron-bound Si(OMe) 3 group and the organic ligand coordinated on platinum were eliminated, and the vinylidene-bridged complexes [(OC) 3 Fe-{µ-CdC(H)R}(µ-dppm)Pt(CO)] (6a R ) Ph, 6b R ) t-Bu, 6c R ) n-Bu) were obtained. The loosely Pt-bound CO ligand of 6a-c was readily displaced by PPh 3 , P(OMe) 3 , or 2,6-xylyl isonitrile yielding the substitution products [(OC) 3 Fe{µ-CdC(H)R}(µ-dppm)Pt(L)] (7a R ) Ph, L ) PPh 3 ; 7b R ) t-Bu, L ) PPh 3 ; 7c R ) t-Bu, L ) P(OMe) 3; 7d R ) t-Bu, L ) 2,6-xylylNC). The heterobimetallic phenyl complex [(OC) 3 Fe{µ-Si(OMe) 2 (OMe)}(µ-dppm)Pt(Ph)] (8) was obtained by reaction of K[Fe{Si(OMe) 3 }(CO) 3 (η 1 -dppm)] with a cold THF solution of [PtCl(Ph)(1,5-COD)]. The µ-η 2 -Si-O bridge is readily opened under a CO atmosphere to give the CO adduct [(OC) 3 Fe{Si(OMe) 3 }(µ-dppm)Pt(CO)(Ph)] (9), which unexpectedly does not insert CO into the Pt-phenyl bond. This complex reversibly loses the CO ligand under reduced pressure to regenerate 8. All complexes have been studied by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The solid state structures of complexes 3a and 7a have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
