Compared to alkoxy complexes, the chemistry of late transition metal aryloxy complexes is expected to reflect somewhat weaker M-O bonds since aryloxides are weaker nucleophiles than alkoxides. To understand the chemistry of the phenoxides, several thiophenoxide derivatives were synthesized. Pt(II) thiolate complexes are obtained either by reaction of Pt(II) chlorides with RSH in presence of base or the reaction of Pt(0) with dialkyl disulfides. NMR was used to study the structure
