Abstract:
Tetramesitylporphyrin platinum(VI) dihydroxo complex, TMPPt(OH)2 · 2 benzoate was synthesized by addition of two equivalent of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid molecules to the tetramesitylporphyrin platinum(II). This complex was characterized by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods, and is capable to convert two molecules of triphenylphosphine to triphenylphosphine oxide.
