The stability of the new compounds has been studied by <sup>31</sup>P NMR spectroscopy from 200 to 298 K. DFT calculations of the stability
of the complexes have also been performed. In agreement with these

been tested at room temperature in the catalytic 2-phenylation of

An Extended Chain and Trinuclear Complexes Based on Pt(II)āM (M = Tl(I), Pb(II)) Bonds: Contrasting Photophysical Behavior
The
syntheses and structural characterizations of a PtāTl chain
[{PtĀ(bzq)Ā(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>}ĀTlĀ(Me<sub>2</sub>CO)]<sub><i>n</i></sub> <b>1</b> and two trinuclear
Pt<sub>2</sub>M clusters (NBu<sub>4</sub>)Ā[{PtĀ(bzq)Ā(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>}<sub>2</sub>Tl] <b>2</b> and [{PtĀ(bzq)Ā(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>}<sub>2</sub>Pb] <b>3</b> (bzq
= 7,8-benzoquinolinyl), stabilized by donorāacceptor Pt ā
M bonds, are reported. The one-dimensional heterometallic chain <b>1</b> is formed by alternate āPtĀ(bzq)Ā(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>ā and āTlĀ(Me<sub>2</sub>CO)ā
fragments, with PtāTl bond separations in the range of 2.961(1)ā3.067(1)
Ć
. The isoelectronic trinuclear complexes <b>2</b> (which
crystallizes in three forms, namely, <b>2a</b>, <b>2b</b>, and <b>2c</b>) and <b>3</b> present a sandwich structure
in which the TlĀ(I) or PbĀ(II) is located between two āPtĀ(bzq)Ā(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>ā subunits. NMR studies suggest
equilibria in solution implying cleavage and reformation of PtāM
bonds. The lowest-lying absorption band in the UVāvis spectra
in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub> and tetrahydrofuran (THF) of <b>1</b>, associated with <sup>1</sup>MLCT/<sup>1</sup>Lā²LCT <sup>1</sup>[5d<sub>Ļ</sub>(Pt) ā Ļ*Ā(bzq)]/<sup>1</sup>[(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>) ā bzq], displays a blue shift
in relation to the precursor, suggesting the cleavage of the chain
maintaining bimetallic PtāTl fragments in solution, also supported
by NMR spectroscopy. In <b>2</b> and <b>3</b>, it shows
a blue shift in THF and a red shift in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>, supporting a more extensive cleavage of the PtāM bonds in
THF solutions than in CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>, where the trinuclear
entities are predominant. The PtāTl chain <b>1</b> displays
in solid state a bright orange-red emission ascribed to <sup>3</sup>MMā²CT (Mā² = Tl). It exhibits remarkable and fast reversible
vapochromic and vapoluminescent response to donor vapors (THF and
Et<sub>2</sub>O), related to the coordination/decoordination of the
guest molecule to the TlĀ(I) ion, and mechanochromic behavior, associated
with the shortening of the intermetallic PtāTl separations
in the chain induced by grinding. In frozen solutions (THF, acetone,
and CH<sub>2</sub>Cl<sub>2</sub>) <b>1</b> shows interesting
luminescence thermochromism with emissions strongly dependent on the
solvent, concentration, and excitation wavelengths. The Pt<sub>2</sub>Tl complex <b>2</b> shows an emission close to <b>1</b>, ascribed to charge transfer from the platinum fragment to the thallium
[<sup>3</sup>(L+Lā²)ĀMMā²CT]. <b>2</b> also shows
vapoluminescent behavior in the presence of vapors of Me<sub>2</sub>CO, THF, and Et<sub>2</sub>O, although smaller and slower than those
of <b>1</b>. The trinuclear neutral complex Pt<sub>2</sub>Pb <b>3</b> displays a blue-shift emission band, tentatively assigned
to admixture of <sup>3</sup>MMā²CT <sup>3</sup>[PtĀ(d) ā
PbĀ(sp)] with some metal-mediated intraligand (<sup>3</sup>ĻĻ/<sup>3</sup>ILCT) contribution. In contrast to <b>1</b> and <b>2</b>, <b>3</b> does not show vapoluminescent behavior

The nucleophilic nature of <b>1</b> is also demonstrated through its reaction with <i>cis</i>-[PtĀ(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>2</sub>(THF)<sub>2</sub>], which
results in the formation of [Pt<sub>4</sub>(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>4</sub>(PPh<sub>3</sub>)] (<b>4</b>). The structure and NMR features indicate that <b>1</b> can be better considered as a Pt<sup>II</sup>āPt<sup>III</sup>āPt<sup>I</sup> complex instead of a Pt<sup>II</sup>āPt<sup>II</sup>āPt<sup>II</sup> derivative. Theoretical
calculations (density functional theory) on similar model compounds
are in agreement with the assigned oxidation states of the metal centers.
The strong intermetallic interactions resulting in a Pt<sup>2</sup>āPt<sup>3</sup> metalāmetal bond and the respective
bonding mechanism were verified by employing a multitude of computational
techniques (natural bond order analysis, the Laplacian of the electron
density, and localized orbital locator profiles)

Addition of Nucleophiles to Phosphanido Derivatives of Pt(III): Formation of PāC, PāN, and PāO Bonds
The
reactivity of the dinuclear platinumĀ(III) derivative [(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>III</sup>(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>ĀPt<sup>III</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<i>(PtāPt)</i> (R<sub>F</sub> = C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>) (<b>1</b>) toward
OH<sup>ā</sup>, N<sub>3</sub><sup>ā</sup>, and NCO<sup>ā</sup> was studied. The coordination
of these nucleophiles to a metal center evolves with reductive coupling
or reductive elimination between a bridging diphenylphosphanido group
and OH<sup>ā</sup>, N<sub>3</sub><sup>ā</sup>, and NCO<sup>ā</sup> or C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub> groups and formation
of PāO, PāN, or PāC bonds. The addition of OH<sup>ā</sup> to <b>1</b> evolves with a reductive coupling
with the incoming ligand, formation of a PāO bond, and the
synthesis of [NBu<sub>4</sub>]<sub>2</sub>[(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>II</sup>(Ī¼-OPPh<sub>2</sub>)Ā(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>II</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (<b>3</b>). The addition of N<sub>3</sub><sup>ā</sup> takes place through
two ways: (a) formation of the PāN bond and reductive elimination
of PPh<sub>2</sub>N<sub>3</sub> yielding [NBu<sub>4</sub>]<sub>2</sub>[(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>II</sup>(Ī¼-N<sub>3</sub>)Ā(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>II</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (<b>4a</b>) and (b) formation of the PāC bond
and reductive coupling with one of the C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub> groups
yielding [NBu<sub>4</sub>]Ā[(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>II</sup>(Ī¼-N<sub>3</sub>)Ā(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>II</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)Ā(PPh<sub>2</sub>R<sub>F</sub>)] (<b>4b</b>).
Analogous behavior was shown in the addition of NCO<sup>ā</sup> to <b>1</b> which afforded [NBu<sub>4</sub>]<sub>2</sub>[(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>II</sup>(Ī¼-NCO)Ā(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>II</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (<b>5a</b>) and [NBu<sub>4</sub>]Ā[(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>II</sup>(Ī¼-NCO)Ā(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>II</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)Ā(PPh<sub>2</sub>R<sub>F</sub>)] (<b>5b</b>).
In the reaction of the trinuclear complex [(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>III</sup>(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>III</sup>(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>ĀPt<sup>II</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<i>(Pt</i><sup><i>III</i></sup><i>āPt</i><sup><i>III</i></sup><i>)</i> (<b>2</b>) with OH<sup>ā</sup> or N<sub>3</sub><sup>ā</sup>, the coordination of the nucleophile takes place
selectively at the central platinumĀ(III) center, and the PPh<sub>2</sub>/OH<sup>ā</sup> or PPh<sub>2</sub>/N<sub>3</sub><sup>ā</sup> reductive coupling yields the trinuclear [NBu<sub>4</sub>]<sub>2</sub>[(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>II</sup>(Ī¼-Ph<sub>2</sub>PO)Ā(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>II</sup>(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>II</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>] (<b>6</b>) and [NBu<sub>4</sub>]Ā[(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>Pt<sup>1</sup>(Ī¼<sub>3</sub>-Ph<sub>2</sub>PNPPh<sub>2</sub>)Ā(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>2</sup>(Ī¼-PPh<sub>2</sub>)ĀPt<sup>3</sup>(R<sub>F</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<i>(Pt</i><sup><i>2</i></sup><i>āPt</i><sup><i>3</i></sup><i>)</i> (<b>7</b>).
