Abstract

The d⁸⋯d¹⁰ heterobimetallic [Pt^IIAu^I(dppm)₂PhCl]PF₆ (1) complex (dppm = bis(diphenylphosphino)methane) is oxidized by PhICl₂ to give the d⁷-d⁹ [Pt^IIIAu^II(dppm)₂PhCl₃]PF₆ (2) complex containing a Pt^III-Au^II bond. Facile M-X bond activation is achieved by irradiation of CH₃CN solutions of 2 with visible light in the presence of 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, inducing a two-electron reduction to regenerate 1.
