✦ Synopsis

The unexpected reactivity of 1 presumably results from an electron transfer from the Pt atom to [AuPPh3]@ with subsequent elimination of H@. The resulting bimetallic PtAu intermediate could then add a further [AuPPh3]@ unit to give 3. Alternatively, a w2-H intermediate might also be involved. This would be relevant to reactivity studies on bimetallic platinum hydride complexes[71.
