Searching for a connection between the two-electron redox behavior of Group-14 elements and their possible use as platforms for the photoreductive elimination of chlorine, we have studied the photochemistry of [(o-(Ph2P)C6H4)2GeIVCl2]PtIICl2 and [(o-(Ph2P)C6H4)2ClGeIII]PtIIICl3, two newly isolated isomeric complexes. These studies show that, in the presence of a chlorine trap, both isomers convert cleanly into the platinum germyl complex [(o-(Ph2P)C6H4)2ClGeIII]PtICl with quantum yields of 1.7 % and 3.2 % for the GeIV–PtII and GeIII–PtIII isomers, respectively. Conversion of the GeIV–PtII isomer into the platinum germyl complex is a rare example of a light-induced transition-metal/main-group-element bond-forming process. Additionally, transient-absorption-spectroscopy studies carried out on the GeIII–PtIII isomer point to a ligand arene–Cl. charge-transfer complex as an intermediate.
