Abstract


The binuclear µ-vinylidene complexes containing an isocyanide ligand (1-(isocyanomethylsulfonyl)-4-methylbenzene) Cp(CO)2RePt(m-C=CHPh)(L)(TosMIC) [L = PPh3 (1), P(OPri)3 (2)] weresynthesized for the first time. The approach afforded 1 and 2 based on the substitution reactions of a platinum bound carbonyl group in Cp(CO)2RePt(m-C=CHPh)(CO)(L) [L = PPh3 (1a), P(OPri)3 (2a)] upon addition of 1-(isocyanomethylsulfonyl)-4-methylbenzene. The complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy. Their redox properties were studied.
