A number of trans-Pt(II) ferrocenylacetylide complexes were synthesized from the reaction of ferrocenylacetylene and trans-Ar(Ph3P)2PtI. The cyclic voltammograms showed on reversible wave near -0.15 V and one irreversible wave at +0.72-0.95 V. The latter anodic potentials correlate linearly with the Hammett σp+ constant. The one-electron-oxidized species were isolated from the reaction of the trans-Pt(II) ferrocenylacetylide complexes with DDQ or FcHPF6 as stable solids. The interaction parameter α2, calculated from the absorption maximum (νmax) of the intervalence transfer (IT) band observed at 1055-1075 nm, indicates the presence of a small degree of interaction between the two metals in the heteronuclear mixed-valence complexes. Also, the values of νmax correlate linearly with the Hammett σp+ constants of the substituents on the aryl ligand. The structure of trans-[Pt-(C≡CFc)(C6H4CO2Et-P)(Ph 3P)2] was confirmed by a single-crystal X-ray determination.
