We report the first well-defined example of intermolecular aryl halide oxidative addition (OA) to Pt(II). Complexes of the type (IMes)PtMe<sub>2</sub>(L) and (IMes’)PtMe(L) (L = SMe<sub>2</sub>, pyridine; IMes = <i>N,N</i>-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene; IMes’ = cyclometalated IMes) undergo intermolecular OA of phenyl iodide (PhI) at 60 °C, producing toluene <i>via</i> reductive elimination from a proposed Pt(IV)-phenyl species. Isolation of a model Pt(IV) OA product provides evidence for a Pt(II)/(IV) pathway. The OA of PhI is not limited to Pt(II)-IMes complexes;analogous reactions also proceed with phosphine-ligated Pt(II) dialkyl complexes, demonstrating that this reaction is feasible for a variety of electron-rich Pt(II) complexes bearing labile ligands.

<p>The masked Ti(II) synthon (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(<i>η</i><sup>6</sup>-Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti (<b>1</b>) oxidatively adds across thiophene to give ring-opened (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti[<i>κ</i><sup>2</sup>-<i>S</i>(CH)<sub>3</sub><i>C</i>H] (<b>2</b>). Complex <b>2</b> is photosensitive, and upon exposure to light, reductively eliminates thiophene to regenerate <b>1</b> – a rare example of early-metal mediated oxidative-addition/reductive-elimination chemistry. DFT calculations indicate strong titanium π-backdonation to the thiophene π*-orbitals leads to the observed thiophene ring opening across titanium, while a proposed photoinduced LMCT promotes the reverse thiophene elimination from <b>2</b>. Finally, pressurizing solutions of <b>2 </b>with H<sub>2</sub> (150 psi) at 80 °C leads to the hydrodesulfurization of thiophene to give the Ti(IV) sulfide (<sup>Ket</sup>guan)(Im<sup>Dipp</sup>N)Ti(S) (<b>3</b>) and butane. </p>

Oxidative addition of TMEDA-supported [AlH2]+ to [{BDI}Ga] (BDI = {HC(C(CH3)N(2,6-iPr2-C6H3))2) provides [{BDI}Ga(H)-Al(H)(tmeda)]¬[B(C6H3-3,5-Me2)4] (TMEDA = N,N,N’N’-tetramethylethylene¬diamine) with a covalent metal-metal bond. The reaction is readily reversed by substituting TMEDA for an...
