Abstract
Abstract The room temperature reaction of dimethylplatinum (II)COD [COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene] with a molar excess perfluoro- n -propyl iodide produces [Pt(C 3 F 7 ) 2 (COD)]. Perfluoro- iso -propyl iodide and perfluoro- n -butyl iodide gives the monosubstitute [Pt( i -C 3 F 7 )(CH 3 )(COD)] and [Pt(C 4 F 9 )(CH 3 )(COD)], respectively, consistent with steric hinderance suppressing the second substitution reaction. The crystal structure of [Pt(C 3 F 7 ) 2 (COD)] reveals square planar geometry about the platinum.
