An η 2 O 2 complex 1 of platinum with two different ligands has been prepared for the first time. The novel synthetic strategy involves reaction of hydridobridged LHPtH 2 PtHL with 2L′ (L= t Bu 3 P, L′=Ph 3 P). Evolution of hydrogen is presumably accompanied by formation of LL′Pt, which is oxidized in the air to give 1 . Reaction of 1 with 2 leads via a novel OO cleavage to the five‐membered ring compound 3.
