The reactivity of [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4] towards difunctional chloroacetamide alkylating agents: Formation of cyclized or bridged products

► Bis(chloroacetamides) alkylate [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4]; products vary with alkylating agent. ► [Pt2{SCH2C(O)NHNHC(O)CHS}(PPh3)4]2+ shows inequivalent P centers due to thiolate ligand. ► Complex with thiolate [o-SCH2C(O)NHC6H4NHC(O)CH2S] contains an N-H···S hydrogen bond.
