    Abstract

    The platinaboratrane [Pt(PPh3){B(mt)3}](Pt→B) 10 (mt = methimazolyl) is prone to oxidative addition reactions with a range of substrates (Cl2 Br2, I2, HCl, CH3I) without disrupting the platinum-boron dative bond, as illustrated by the first structurally characterized platinaboratranes [PtH(PPh3){B(mt)3}JCl(Pt→B)8 and [PtI 2{B(mt)3}](Pt→B)8.
