Reaction of the bis-alkenyl complex cis-[Pt(PPh3) 2-(CH2CH2CH=CH2)2] with Grubbs 1st generation catalyst gives, in high yield, the metallacycloalkene cis-[Pt(PPh3)2(CH2CH2CH=CHCH 2CH2)], which can be hydrogenated to the metallacycloalkane cis-[Pt(PPh3)2(CH2) 6]. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.
