Quantum-mechanical calculations were carried out at the MP4(SDQ)//MP2 level of theory to determine the energies and reaction mechanism for the carbonyl insertion reaction (second step in the olefin hydroformylation catalytic cycle), using a heterobimetallic Pt(SnCl 3 )(PH 3 ) 2 (CO)(CH 3 ) compound

โฆ Synopsis
The reaction pathway for the insertion reaction of SnCl into the Pt-Cl 2 ลฝ . ลฝ . bond on the cis-Pt Cl PH compound was investigated at the ab initio MO level of 2 3 2 theory. The optimized structure obtained for the transition state indicates that this reaction proceeds through a three-center transition state, and the formed intermediate ลฝ .ลฝ . ลฝ . ลฝ .ลฝ . ลฝ . cis-Pt Cl PH SnCl easily isomerizes to the trans-Pt Cl PH SnCl compound. 3 2 3 3 2 3
ลฝ . The nature of the bonds was investigated with the charge decomposition analysis CDA method and this method indicates that the SnCl group is a stronger trans director than 3 is the PH group.
