In the process of pursuing the intended goal to characterize compounds 1 and 2, PtHSnPh3 diphos complexes, compound 4 dppePt(SnPh3)2 was synthesized. The synthetic route for compound 4 utilized a pi-bound stilbene complex, dppePt(trans-stilbene) compound 3 that underwent platinum hydrogenation. The sterically hindered molecule compound 4 was identified with 1H NMR, 31P NMR, 119Sn NMR spectral analysis and literature comparisons. The research focuses on characterizing bidentate phosphine ligands, which are useful catalysts in many organic reactions. This research was conducted at Grinnell College under Lauren Edwards and Professor T. Andrew Mobley.
