Abstract

Complexes [PtMe<sub>2</sub>(NN)], with NN = 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy), 4,4′-di-<i>tert</i>-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine (bu<sub>2</sub>bipy), di-2-pyridylamine (dpa), or di-2-pyridyl ketone (dpk), react easily with phthaloyl peroxide to give a mixture of the chelate complex [PtMe<sub>2</sub>{κ<sup>2</sup>-<i>O</i>,<i>O</i>′-1,2-(O<sub>2</sub>C)<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>}­(NN)], which was structurally characterized when NN = bu<sub>2</sub>bipy, and an oligomer or polymer [PtMe<sub>2</sub>{μ-κ<sup>2</sup>-<i>O</i>,<i>O</i>′-1,2-(O<sub>2</sub>C)<sub>2</sub>C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>}­(NN)]<sub><i>n</i></sub>. In the case with NN = dpa, no phthalate chelate complex is formed. These complexes are easily hydrolyzed, and the complexes <i>cis</i>-[PtMe<sub>2</sub>(OH)­{κ<sup>1</sup>-<i>O</i>-O<sub>2</sub>CC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>-2-CO<sub>2</sub>H}­(bipy)] and <i>trans</i>-[PtMe<sub>2</sub>{κ<sup>1</sup>-<i>O</i>-O<sub>2</sub>CC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>-2-CO<sub>2</sub>H}­(dpkOH)] have been structurally characterized. It is argued that the oxidative addition of phthaloyl peroxide occurs by a polar mechanism and that the hydrolysis is easy because there is no special stability associated with the seven-membered platinum-phthalate chelate ring
