title: Synthesis and Reactivity of a Neutral, Three-Coordinate Platinum(II) Complex Featuring Terminal Amido Ligation.
abstract: A crystallographically characterized three-coordinate, formally 14 electron Pt(II) complex 1 featuring terminal amido ligation is reported. Computational analysis revealed relatively weak π donation from the amide lone pair to platinum and supports a 14-electron assignment for 1. Stoichiometric reactivity studies confirmed the viability of net O-H and C-H addition across, as well as isonitrile insertion into, the terminal platinum-amido linkage of 1.
