Popis: Controlled potential bulk reductive electrolysis of trans -[PtI 2 (PEt 3 ) 2 ] in 5:2 C 6 H 5 CN:C 6 H 6 (saturated with NaClO 4 ) at a Hg pool electrode at −1.5 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) and at approximately 0°C, yielded two compounds detectable by 31 P{ 1 H} NMR spectroscopy. One compound was the starting material, trans -[PtI 2 (PEt 3 ) 2 ], while the other displayed a complex spectrum. Analysis of the 1 H, 31 P{ 1 H} and 195 Pt{ 1 H} NMR spectra suggested that the compound contained an unaccounted for spin one-half nucleus. Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy indicated that the compound contained mercury and the spectra could be satisfactorily interpreted in terms of a mercury–platinum–hydride structure.
