title: Oxidative C(sp3)-H bond cleavage, C-C and C=C coupling at a boron center with O2 as the oxidant mediated by platinum(II).
abstract: Dimethyl- and diphenylplatinum(II) fragments Pt(II)R2 (R = Me, Ph) enable facile and efficient oxidative C(sp(3))-H bond cleavage and stepwise C-C and C=C coupling at the boron atom of a coordinated 1,5-cyclooctanediyldi(2-pyridyl)borato ligand with O2 as the sole oxidant.
