What is it about?
This complex shows very unusual reaction patterns with the anions SbF6- and BPh4-, which are not considered to be very reactive. We have followed these reactions by NMR, MS and XRD of the products and have shown through density functional calculations how these reactions occur.

Why is it important?
Complexes of the type [Pt(cod)(R)X] (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) have been frequently used in synthetic chemistry, catalysis, and for chemical vapor deposition. Details in their reactivity are very important to understand their role.
