The MINDO/3 SCF MO method has been used to investigate the equilibrium geometries, electronic structure and ground state properties of ply and its univalent ions. The results indicate that ply has a low energy of disproportionation and that electron addition or removal leads to little structural change. From an analysis of the results it is concluded that odd-alternant hydrocarbons, and systems based on the ply nucleus in particular, have many of the characteristics which are considered to be important in the design of organic metals and superconductors.

Based upon the experimentally known but yet unexplained very different reactivities of the two isoelectronic and isolobal intermediates Pt(PMe3)2 and Pt(PEt3)2, the electronic structure and bonding capability of such 14 electron fragments as a function of their geometry (P-Pt-P angle α, determined by the phosphane cone angle) are investigated using molecular orbital calculations. A decrease of the P-Pt -P angle leads to an exceptionally pronounced energy ascent of the b2-HOMO of Pt(PR3)2 species, which, as a consequence, might lead to unusual reactivity patterns and bonding capabilities of 1,3-diphosphaplatinacyclobutane fragments, for which an extreme electronic situation is enforced by steric constraints. Dichloro[η2-bis(di-r-butylphosphino) methane]platinum(II), Pt(dtbpm)Cl2, is synthesized as a potential precursor of Pt(dtbpm), in order to allow experimental investigations of this taylor made four-membered ring chelate complex of Pt(0). The crystal and molecular structure of Pt(dtbpm)Cl2 · 2 CHCl3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
