Transmetalation supported by a Pt(II)-Cu(I) bond.
Passing Me over: platinum-to-copper methyl transfer is observed upon collision-induced dissociation (CID) of the cations formed by the interaction of the [(R(3)P)Cu](+) fragment with [(dmpe)PtMe(2)] (R=Me, Ph, Cy, tBu; dmpe=bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane; see X-ray crystal structure of coordination spheres for R=tBu). The thermochemistry of these processes for R=Me is investigated by mass-spectrometric methods.
