Several types of platinum(II) cyclometallated compounds containing a biaryl linkage were obtained: i) endo-five-membered with a Pt-C(sp2) bond (2d, 2h), ii) endo-six-membered with a Pt-C(sp3) bond (2e, 2f), and iii) exo-five membered with a Pt-C(sp2) bond (2i). The formed biaryl linkage involves the metallated ring for 2i and the non-metallated ring for the endo-metallacycles. The reaction of compounds 2 with PPh3 produced the corresponding phosphine derivatives, some of which (3d, 3e, 3h and 3i) were characterised crystallographically. In addition, compound [PtBr{2-CH3C6H3C6H4CH NCH2(2-C6H4Br)}SEt2] (2c) containing a seven-membered endo-metallacycle was also obtained and characterised crystallographically.29 p.application/pdfeng(c) Crespo, M. et al., 2011Química inorgànicaPlatíCristal·lografiaLligandsInorganic chemistryPlatinumCrystallographyLigandsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article5990722024-08-28info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
