to react with dialkyldisulfides R2S2 (R = Me, Et, Pr, Bu; Pr = n-propyl, Bu = n-butyl), yielding trinuclear 44
cve (cluster valence electrons) platinum clusters [(PtL)3(μ-SR)3]Cl (4). The analogous reaction of 2a−b
with Ph2S2 gave SPh bridged dinuclear complexes trans-[{PtCl(L)}2(μ-SPh)2] (5), whereas the addition of
Bn2S2 (Bn = benzyl) to 2a ended up in the formation of [{Pt(PPh3)}3(μ3-S)(μ-SBn)3]Cl (6). Theoretical studies
based on the AIM theory revealed that type 4 complexes must be regarded as triangular platinum clusters
with Pt−Pt bonds whereas complex 6 must be treated as a sulfur capped 48 ve (valence electrons) trinuclear
platinum(II) complex without Pt−Pt bonding interactions. Phosphine ligands with a lower donor capability
in clusters 4 proved to be subject to substitution by stronger donating monodentate phosphine ligands (L‘
= PMePh2, PMe2Ph, PBu3) yielding clusters [(PtL‘)3(μ-SR)3]Cl (9). In case of the reaction of clusters 4 and
9 with PPh2CH2PPh2 (dppm), a fragmentation reaction occurred, and the complexes [(PtL)2(μ-SMe)(μ-dppm)]Cl (12) and [Pt(μ-SMe)2(dppm)] (13) were isolated. Furthermore, oxidation reactions of cluster [{Pt(PPh3)}3(μ-SMe)3]Cl (4a) using halogens (Br2, I2) gave dimeric platinum(II) complexes cis-[{PtX(PPh3)}2(μ-SMe)2] (14, X = Br, I) whereas oxidation reactions using sulfur and selenium afforded chalcogen capped
trinuclear 48 ve complexes [{Pt(PPh3)}3(μ3-E)(μ-SMe)3] (15, E = S, Se). All compounds were fully
characterized by means of NMR and IR spectroscopy, microanalyses, and ESI mass spectrometry.
Furthermore, X-ray diffraction analyses were performed for the triangular cluster 4a, the trinuclear complex
6, as well as for the dinuclear complexes trans-[{Pt(AsPh3)}2(μ-SPh)2] (5c), [{Pt(PPh3)}2(μ-SMe)(μ-dppm)]Cl (12a), and [{{PtBr(PPh3)}2(μ-SMe)2] (14a).
