A platinum–silylene complex is implicated in the generation of the triangular platinum cluster 1 by thermolysis of a bis(silyl)-PtII complex. Although 1 contains only electron-releasing ligands, X-ray structural data, NMR studies, and MO calculations on a model complex are consistent with the presence of Pt0 centers and metal–metal bonds.
