title: Platinum(IV) centres with agostic interactions from either sp² or sp³ C-H bonds.
abstract: Agostic complexes of platinum(IV) have been isolated and characterised. A Pt(II) sp³ agostic complex maintains the agostic interaction upon oxidation giving a Pt(IV) sp³ agostic complex; in another Pt(IV) complex the agostic interaction from an sp² C-H bond is sufficient to displace another ligand.
