Diphenylsila[1]molybdarenophane (1) reacted with [Pt(PEt3)3] to give the platinasila[2]molybdarenophane [{(Et3P)2Pt}(Ph2Si)(η6-C6H5)2Mo] (2) in an isolated yield of 52%. Species 2 was characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single-crystal X-ray determ...
