Abstract
Ab initio calculations were carried out on Pt(CH3)2(Cl)2(PH3)2 and on various Mt(R1)(R2)(PH3)2 complexes (where Mt = Pd or Pt; R1, R2 = H or CH3) in order to elucidate the differences in reductive H–C and C–C coupling from Pd(II), Pt(II), and Pt(IV) complexes. These studies explain why (1) reductive C–C coupling is facile for Pd(II), favorable for Pt(IV), and unobserved for Pt(II) systems, while (2) reductive H–C coupling is facile for Pt(II) and Pd(II) systems, and (3) oxidative addition is favorable only for the addition of H2 to Pt(0) systems.
