Popis: The „platinum Grignard reagent” [Pt(MgCl)2(THF)x] (2), obtained by the reaction of PtCl2 and Et2Mg in a 1:2 molar ratio, as well as finely divided platinum (Pt*)—a possible intermediate formed during the preparation of 2—have been investigated by EXAFS spectroscopy at the PtLII edge. Parallel investigations were carried out on Pt* obtained from PtCl2 and (9,10–dihydro-9,10-an-thracenediyl)tris(tetrahydrofuran)magnesium (MgA), and on 2 obtained from Pt*, MgA, and MgCl2. The EXAFS results suggest that Pt* consists of extremely small particles (≈ 5–11 A) with strongly reduced Pt–Pt distances compared to bulk Pt (≈ 0.09 A). The EXAFS spectra of 2 indicate the presence of Mg shells in addition to Pt shells in the Pt environment; Mg atoms are at a bonding distance from Pt atoms (2.78–2.80 A). These results suggest that 2 consists of very small Pt–Mg clusters and confirm their formation from organomagnesium reagents and PtCl2 or Pt*.
