Metallaborane reaction chemistry. A facile and reversible dioxygen capture by a B-frame-supported bimetallic: structure of [(PMe2Ph)4(O2)Pt2B10H10].
[(PMe2Ph)4Pt2B10H10] reversibly takes up atmospheric dioxygen to give the fluxional dioxygen-dimetallaborane complex [(PMe2Ph)4(O2)Pt2B10H10], which has Pt-Pt 2.7143(3), Pt-O 2.141(4) and 2.151(4) and O-O 1.434(6)A.
