Bidirectional transfer of phenyl and methyl groups between Pt(IV) and boron in platinum dipyridylborato complexes.
In the presence of weakly Lewis basic DMSO methyl group migration between B and PtIV in dipyridylborato trihydrocarbyl PtIV complexes is reversible; the preferred direction of Ph group migration in THF solution is from PtIV to B.
