Abstract: Catalytic oxidation: a platinum standard Many important biological and chemical processes, including photocatalytic water oxidation to molecular oxygen (of interest as a route to artificial photosynthesis) and the activation of dioxygen on metal surfaces, are thought to involve transition metal terminal oxo complexes. Poverenov et al. now report the synthesis of a platinum based oxidizing reagent with potentially useful characteristics. It's a d6 Pt(IV) terminal oxo complex that is not stabilized by an electron accepting ligand framework, and so exhibits reactivity as both an inter- and intra-molecular oxygen donor and as an electrophile. It also undergoes water activation to produce a terminal dihydroxo complex, which may be of relevance to the mechanism of water oxidation and other catalytic reactions.
