Abstract
Photochemical reaction of a diplatinum μ-phenylethenylidene complex with (p-tolyl) C ≡ C(p-tolyl) occurs with C-C coupling of the phenylethenylidene ligand and alkyne moieties to give an expanded, unsaturated μ-η1:η3-butadienediyl ligand. The location of the twop-tolyl groups on adjacent carbon atoms of the butadienediyl skeleton is consistent with incorporation of the alkyne moiety as an intact species.
