A Highly Unsaturated Platinum-Rhenium Cluster Complex that Adds an Unusually Large Amount of Hydrogen

摘要

Important results continue to emerge from current research on polynuclear metal cluster complexes.In recent studies we have shown that platinum and palladium groups containing the bulky tri-tert-butylphosphine ligand readily add to poly-nuclear metal cluster complexes to form adducts that are inherently electron deficient around the metal atoms.Herein we present a new example of these complexes that exhibits an unusually high degree of electronic unsaturation that predisposes it to an addition reaction with an unusually large amount of hydrogen.
