Cooperative Reactivity of Halomethanes and -silanes at an A-Frame Complex: Transannular Addition versus Bridging Tetrylenes

Puntos clave

• This research investigates the cooperative reactivity of halomethanes and silanes at a diplatinum complex.
• Synthesis of the diplatinum(0) complex
• Reaction with halomethanes (CH2X2, X = Cl, Br, I) and CCl4
• Analysis of cooperative addition mechanisms
• Facile addition of one C–X bond at each platinum site
• Comparison between transannular addition and bridging tetrylenes
• Observation of synergistic effects in reactivity
