Cyclometalated C^C* Platinum(IV) NHC Complexes.

We present a previously unknown series of cyclometalated platinum(IV) NHC complexes, obtained by oxidative addition of iodine, iodomethane, and different benzyl bromides to platinum(II) complexes with cyclometalated C^C* dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene, and phenylimidazole ligands together with an acetylacetonate ligand. All compounds were characterized by standard techniques (
