Reactions of [Pt(PCy(3))(2)] (Cy = cyclohexyl) with group 12 metal dihalides have afforded the novel metal only Lewis pair (MOLP) complexes, [(Cy(3)P)(2)Pt→MX(2)] (M = Zn or Cd, X = Br or I), or the oxidative addition product, trans-[(Cy(3)P)(2)(I)PtHgI]. The zinc complex represents the first MOLP to contain an unsupported Pt→Zn linkage.
