Abstract

Carbon-carbon bond activation of diphenylacetylene and several substituted derivatives has been achieved via photolysis and studied. Pt0-acetylene complexes with η2-coordination of the alkyne, along with the corresponding PtII CC activated photolysis products, have been synthesized and characterized, including X-ray crystal structural analysis. While the CC cleavage reaction occurs readily under photochemical conditions, thermal activation of the ...
