Reaction of a complex Pt organometallic species with electrophilic halogen sources in the presence of X<sup>-</sup> ligands changes the mechanism of reductive elimination from a concerted reductive coupling type to an S<sub>N</sub>2 type reductive elimination. In the absence of the added X<sup>-</sup> ligand the reductive elimination is stereoretentive; in its presence, the process is stereoinvertive. This selectivity hinges on the reactivity of a key five-coordinate Pt(IV) intermediate with the ...[more]
