Title: Stable organoplatinum complexes as intermediates and models in hydrocarbon functionalization
Abstract: This review narrates a story about the early stages of developing the alkane-platinum and aryl-platinum chemistry. Characterization and isolation of intermediate σ-organyl complexes is in the focus of the paper. The first works in this area have been carried out in Chernogolovka (Shilov), Donetsk (Rudakov) and Moscow (Shul'pin). The review concerns also a progress in this area. A comparison of alkane reactions with Pt(II) on the one hand and Pd(II) as well as other C–H-activating reagents on the other hand shows that Shilov's system is "a black swan" in this field and further detailed studies of its intimate mechanism seem to be required. At the same time, in alkane activation a striking similarity can be seen between behavior of Pt(II) complexes and hydroxyl radicals. An aqua-platinum(II) complex can be compared with a wasp which pricks C–H bonds using a sting (coordinated hydroxyl radical).
