Heating of the CO-adduct resulted in two unusual cAAC ring-expansion products, one presenting a B=C bond to a six-membered 1,2-azaborinane-3-ylidene, the other an unprecedented nine-membered cyclic alkyne resulting from reductive cleavage of CO and spontaneous C≡C triple bond formation.

The compound was isolated as a by-product from a mixture of [(C(5)H(4)SiMe(2))(2)ZrCl(2)] and Li[AlH(4)] in Et(2)O.

Section E, Structure reports online N2 - In the centrosymmetric molecular structure of the title compound \([Pt_2(C_6H_{14}P)_2H_2)(C_9H_{21}P)_2]\), each \(Pt^{II}\) atom is bound on one side to a phosphane ligand \((PiPr_3)\) and a hydrido ligand. On the other side, it is bound to two phosphanide ligands \((μ-PiPr_2)\), which engage a bridging position between the two \(Pt^{II}\) atoms, forming a distorted square-planar structure motif. The PtPt distance is 3.6755(2)Å. A comparable molecular structure was observed for bis-(μ-di-tert-butyl-phosphanido)bis-[hydrido(triethyl-phosphane)platinum(II)] [Itazaki et al. (2004 ).
