Reaction of RSH with (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/) gave CO and (Pt/sub 3/H(/mu//sub 3/-SR)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)(PF/sub 6/)/sub 2/ 2a, R = Me; 2b, R = Et; 2c, R = CH/sub 2/Ph; 2d, R = CH/sub 2/CO/sub 2/Et; 2e, R = Ph; 2f, R = 4-MeC/sub 6/H/sub 4/ and, when R = aryl, (Pt/sub 3/(SR)(/mu//sub 3/-SR)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)(PF/sub 6/)/sub 2/ (3a, R = Ph; 3b, R = 4-MeC/sub 6/H/sub 4/). Reaction of t-BuSH with 1 gave the known complex (Pt/sub 3/H(/mu//sub 3/-S)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)(PF/sub 6/) (4). Mixed-thiolate derivatives Pt/sub 3/(SR)(/mu//sub 3/-SR')(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/(PF/sub 6/)/sub 2/ (3c, R = Me, R' = Ph; 3d, R = Ph, R' = Me) were formed by reaction of 2a with PhSH. In some cases, thiolate-exchange reactions were observed; for example, 2e with excess MeSH gave mostly 2a. PhSeH reacted with 1 to give a mixture of (Pt/sub 3/H(/mu//sub 3/-SePh)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)(PF/sub 6/)/sub 2/ (5) and (Pt/sub 3/(SePh)(/mu//sub 3/-SePh)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)(PF/sub 6/)/sub 2/ (6). In the reactions of 1 with EtSH or PhSH, low-temperature /sup 31/P and /sup 13/C NMR experiments showed the formation of a rapid preequilibrium between the reagents and (Pt/sub 3/(/mu//sub 3/-CO)(RSH)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)/sup 2+/ (7a, R = Et; 7b, R = Ph). These reacted further to give 2b or 2e on warming to /approx/ 0/degree/C. PhSeH gave the analogous intermediate (Pt/sub 3/(/mu//3/-CO)(PhSeH)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)/sup 2+/ and, with excess PhSeH, another species, which is probably (Pt/sub 3/H/sub 2/(/mu/-SePh)(/mu/-dppm)/sub 3/)/sup 3+/. 10 refs., 3 figs., 2 tabs.
