Platinum complexes [Pt(NHC')(NHC)][BArF] (NHC' denotes the cyclometallated N-heterocyclic carbene ligand, NHC) react with primary silanes RSiH3 leading to the cyclometallated platinum(II) silyl complexes [Pt(NHC-SiHR')(NHC)][BArF] through a process that involves the formation of C−Si and Pt−Si bonds with concomitant extrusion of H2. Low...

A reversible carbon–boron bond formation has been observed in the reaction of the coordinatively unsaturated, cyclometalated, Pt(II) complex [Pt(ItBuiPr′)(ItBuiPr)][BArF], 1, with tricoordinated boranes HBR2. X-ray diffraction studies provided structural snapshots of the sequence of reactions involved in the process. At low temperature, we...
