Abstract

Two new dinuclear platinum complexes Pt2Ph4LEt (1a) and Pt2Ph4LF (1b) (where LEt is 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(6-ethylquinolin-8-yl)benzene and LF is 1,2,4,5-tetrakis(6-trifluoromethoxylquinolin-8-yl)benzene) were synthesized and characterized. Triggered by an oxidant NCS, 1a and 1b displayed interesting reactivity of reductive dearomatization of the central phenyl rings of LEt and LF ligands respectively. The preliminary radical scavenger test gave some mechanistic insights.
