title: Oxidative addition of cyclic 1-oxa-5,6-ditelluraspirooctane to platinum(0) complexes.
abstract: The oxidative addition of cyclic ditelluride 1-oxa-5,6-ditelluraspirooctane, Te(2)C(5)H(8)O, to bis(triphenylphosphine)(norbornene)platinum(0), [Pt(PPh(3))(2)(eta(2)-nb)], and to [1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene](norbornene)platinum(0), [Pt(dppn)(eta(2)-nb)], lead to the formation of dinuclear and mononuclear tellurolato platinum(ii) complexes, respectively, as a consequence of Te-Te bond cleavage; no Te-C bond cleavage was observed.
