title: Spontaneous formation of heteroligated PtII complexes with chelating hemilabile ligands.
abstract: The spontaneous formation of the heteroligated complex [PtCl(kappa(2)-Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)SMe)(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)SPh)]Cl (8 a) by a novel ligand rearrangement process has been observed. By using the weak-link approach, the relative arrangement of the alkyl and aryl groups can be controlled by abstraction of chloride from 8 a to form the closed complex [Pt(kappa(2)-Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)SMe)(kappa(2)-Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)SPh)][BF(4)](2) (5) and reopening using halide ions to form semi-open complexes [PtX(kappa(2)-Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)SMe)(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)SPh)]BF(4) (8 b; X=Cl(-)) and (8 c; X=I(-)). Analogous procedures using Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)SMe and 1,4-(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)S)(2)C(6)H(4) lead to heteroligated bimetallic complexes 7 and 9, illustrating that this ligand rearrangement process can be used as a tool for the assembly of complementary metallosupramolecular structures.
