Ethyleneplatinous chloride

Ethyleneplatinous Chloride. Flynn and Hulburt (55) have shown that when toluene or acetone solutions of ethyleneplatinous chloride are reacted with hydrogen at temperatures below —10°, in the presence of an excess of ethylene, ethane may be formed without accompanying deposition of metalUc platinum. The reaction under these conditions appears to be homogeneous, and the following mechanism, which, however, requires substantiation, has been proposed ... 

Slade and Jonassen (192) treated ethyleneplatinous chloride, [Pt2Cl4-(C2H4)2], with butadiene, and obtained an unstable complex to which they ascribed the chlorine-bridged structure (XXXIV), on the evidence that its infrared spectrum showed a weak absorption at 1608 cm-1 due to the free double bond of each butadiene molecule.
