title: Synthesis and reactivity of dimethyl platinum(IV) hydrides in water.
abstract: New hydrophilic ligands of the di(2-pyridyl)methanesulfonate family, L = dpms and Me-dpms, enable the synthesis of methyl platinum(IV) hydrides, LPtMe2H, the study of very fast CH reductive coupling, and reductive elimination of these complexes in water. In dichloromethane solutions, 13CH4 reacts with (Me-dpms)PtMe2H to produce isotopomeric complexes.
