[{Pt]
Prolonged evacuation of [{Pt(CO)(3)}(2)](2+) (1), the first homoleptic, dinuclear, cationic platinum(I) carbonyl complex, results in reversible disproportionation. Complex 1 was formed by dissolution of PtO(2) in concentrated H(2)SO(4) under an atmosphere of CO [Eq. (a)], and completely characterized by NMR ((13)C, (195)Pt), IR, and Raman spectroscopy.
