The reactions of acetylene with the Pt(111) surface have been studied in detail; the species Pt/sub 3/(..mu../sub 3/-eta/sup 2/-HCCH), Pt/sub 3/(..mu../sub 3/-eta/sup 2/-C=CH/sub 2/), and Pt/sub 3/(..mu../sub 3/-CCH/sub 3/) are formed sequentially, and theoretical studies of each species have been carried out. This article reports an attempt to mimic this chemistry by reaction of acetylene with the coordinatively unsaturated cluster (Pt/sub 3/(..mu../sub 3/-CO)(..mu..-dppm)/sub 3/)-(PF/sub 6/)/sub 2/ (1, dppm = Ph/sub 2/PCH/sub 2/PPh/sub 2/)/sup 5/ and the characterization of the first Pt/sub 3/(..mu../sub 3/-eta/sup 2/-HCCH) complexes. The chief chemical results are given here.
