title: Stoichiometric aerobic PtII-Me bond cleavage in aqueous solutions to produce methanol and a PtII(OH) complex.
abstract: Di(2-pyridyl)methanesulfonate ligand allows for facile aerobic oxidation of a PtIIMe complex into PtIVMe(OH)2 species and clean C-O reductive elimination of methanol from the latter in either acidic or basic aqueous solutions.
