Synthesis, electrochemical properties and reactivity of [Fe(η5-C5H4PPh2)2]Pt(benzenethiolate)2 complexes: X-ray crystal structure of [Fe(η5-C5H4PPh2)2]Pt(SC6HF4)2

The redox properties of three heteroleptic Pt(II) complexes were investigated: [Fe(C5H4PPh2)2]Pt(BzT)2 where BzT = benzenethiolate (BT), 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzenethiolate (TFBT) and 3,5-dimethylbenzenethiolate (DMBT), correlating with the electron-withdrawing capability of the monothiolate ligands.
