Complexes with PtAu and PtAg bonds: Catalysis by silver(I) of alkyl exchange reactions between platinum centers

The electron-rich platinum(II) complex [PtMe2(2,2′-bpy)] (1, bpy = bipyridine) reacts with [Au(NO3)(PPh3)], [Au(BF4)(PPh3)], [Au(PF6)(PPh3)], [Ag(BF4)(PPh3)], and AgBF4 to give the Pt-M bonded complexes [PtMe2(bpy)(AuPPh3)]NO3 (3a), [PtMe2(bpy)(AuPPh3)]BF4 (3b), [PtMe2(bpy)(AuPPh3)]PF6 (3c), [PtMe2(bpy)(AgPPh3)]BF4 (3d), and [{PtMe2(bpy)}2Ag]BF4 (4), respectively. These compounds are shown to contain PtAu or PtAg bonds by their 1H, 31P, and 195Pt NMR spectroscopic properties. Complexes 3c and 4 were isolated in analytically pure form, but 3a, 3b, and 3d were too unstable thermally to characterize by elemental analysis. The Pt-Au bonded complexes appear to be the first such binuclear complexes to have been characterized unambiguously. Decomposition of the complexes occurs with formation of Ag or Au metal and equimolar amounts of Me3PtIV and MePtII derivatives. AgBF4 catalyzes the exchange of CH3 and CD3 groups between [PtMe2(bpy)] and [Pt(CD3)2(bpy)], as analyzed by MS, or between [PtMe2(1,10-phen)] (phen = phenanthroline) and [Pt(CD3)2(bpy)], as analyzed by 1H NMR.
