Abstract
The synthesis and spectroscopic characterisation of the new diborane(4) compounds B2(1,2-O2C6Cl4)2 and B2(1,2-O2C6Br4)2 are reported together with the diborane(4) bis-amine adduct [B2(calix)(NHMe2)2] (calix = Butcalix[4]arene). B-B bond oxidative addition reactions between the platinum(0) compound [Pt(PPh3)2(η-C2H4)] and the diborane(4) compounds B2(1,2-S2C6H4)2, B2(1,2-O2C6Cl4)2 and B2(1,2-O2C6Br4)2 are also described which result in the platinum(II) bis-boryl complexes cis-[Pt(PPh3)2{B(1,2-S2C6H 4)}2], cis-[Pt(PPh3)2{B(1,2-O2C6Cl 4)}2] and cis-[Pt(PPh3)2{B(1,2-O2C6Br 4)}2] respectively, the former two having been characterised by X-ray crystallography. In addition, the platinum complex [Pt(PPh3)2(η-C2H4)] reacts with XB(1,2-O2C6H4) (X = Cl, Br) affording the mono-boryl complexes trans-[PtX(PPh3)2{B(1,2-O2C6H 4)}] as a result of oxidative addition of the B-X bonds to the Pt(0) centre; the chloro derivative has been characterised by X-ray crystallography.
