Summary

The complex Pt(bpyMe)Cl3 (bpyMe = N-methyl-2,2′-bipyridylium cation) reacts with pyridine(py) to give cis-[Pt(bpy-Me) (py)Cl2]+, which on heating cyclometallates with loss of py to give Pt(bpyMe-H)Cl2; some Pt(py)2Cl2 is also formed. Pt(bpyMe)Cl3 reacts with 2,2′-bipyridyl (bpy) to yield a mixture of [Pt(bpyMe-H)(bpy)]2+ and [Pt(bpy)2]2+. The analogous reactions with Pd(bpyMe)Cl3 proceed under very mild conditions to afford PdL2Cl2 (L2 = 2py, bpy).
