A formyl ketenyl platinum derivative, trans ‐μ 1 ‐(PCy 3 ) 2 (H)Pt[C(CHO)CO] (where Cy represents a cyclohexyl group), when reacted with HCl, gives a C 3 H 2 O 2 species among the reaction products. The structure was investigated mass spectrometrically by study of the reactions of metastable ions, and the information gained was combined with data from theoretical calculations to rationalize the structure of the C 3 H 2 O 2 molecule.
