'Hemilabile' silyl pincer ligation: platinum group PSiN complexes and triple C-H activation to form a (PSiC)Ru carbene complex

Abstract

The first example of PSiN mixed-donor silyl pincer ligation is described. Studies involving platinum group metal complexes of [(2-(t)Bu(2)PC(6)H(4))(2-Me(2)NC(6)H(4))SiMe](-) ((t)Bu-PSiN-Me) confirmed that the ligand amino donor is labile. Within the coordination sphere of Ru, (t)Bu-PSiN-Me is transformed into a PSiC ligand via multiple C-H bond activation events.
