title: Reversible insertion of carbon dioxide into Pt(II)-hydroxo bonds.
abstract: The reactivity of three monomeric diimine Pt(II) hydroxo complexes, (NN)Pt(OH)R (NN = bulky diimine ligand; R = OH, ; R = C6H5, ; R = CH3, ) towards carbon dioxide has been investigated. Insertion into the Pt-OH bonds was found to be facile and reversible at low temperature for all compounds; the reaction with bis-hydroxide gives an isolable κ(2)-carbonato compound , with elimination of water.
