C-H activation of imidazolium salts by Pt(0) at ambient temperature: synthesis of hydrido platinum bis(carbene) compounds.
A zerovalent platinum(carbene) complex with two monoalkene ligands, which is able to activate C-H bonds of imidazolium salts at room temperature to yield isolable hydrido platinum(II) bis(carbene) compounds, has been synthesised for the first time.
