Formation of the bidentate [Ph2SNC(Me)N(H)] ligand by metal-assisted sulfimide addition to acetonitrile; X-ray crystal structure of [Pt(Ph2SNH)(Ph2SNC(Me)NH)Cl]Cl·MeCN
Abstract
In contrast to similar reactions of Cu, Co and Pd species, the platinum(II) complex [Pt(MeCN)2Cl2] reacts with Ph2SNH (ratio 1:2) in MeCN via a metal assisted addition of the sulfimide to the acetonitrile to give [Pt(Ph2SNH)(Ph2SNC(Me)NH)Cl]Cl·MeCN, the first example of a complex of the bidentate [Ph2SNC(Me)N(H)] ligand.
