Bidirectional transfer of phenyl and methyl groups between Pt-IV and boron in platinum dipyridylborato complexes
In the presence of weakly Lewis basic DMSO methyl group migration between B and Pt-IV in dipyridylborate trihydrocarbyl Pt-IV complexes is reversible; the preferred direction of Ph group migration in THF solution is from Pt-IV to B.
