Abstract

A novel NHC-mercury(II) transmetallating reagent [Hg( L ) 2 ][BF 4 ] 2 ( 3 ), obtained from the proligand L·HBF 4 ( 1 ), lead upon reaction with [Pt(Cl) 2 (cod)] to a novel platinum(II) diplatinamacrocycle of molecular formulae {[Pt(Cl)( L )][BF 4 ]} 2 ( 4 ) which structure was ascertained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Reaction of the proligand L·HBF 4 ( 1 ) with [Pt(PPh 3 ) 4 ] resulted in oxidative addition of the C-H bond of the benzimidazolium ring to Pt(0) providing a mononuclear platinum(II) hydride complex trans -[Pt(H) (L )(PPh 3 ) 2 ]BF 4 (5 ) easily hydrolysed.
