Room temperature reversible C-H activation mediated by a Pt(0) center, and stoichiometric biphenyl formation via solvent activation.
Room temperature reversible C-H activation mediated by a designed diphosphine platinum complex is presented. These findings are demonstrated through mechanistic studies involving kinetics, isotopic effects, and corroborated by DFT calculations. The coupling between two unactivated aromatic derivatives is also demonstrated.
