Dicarbonyldi-μ-chlorodichlorodiplatinum

Chemical compound

trans-Dicarbonyldi-μ-chlorodichlorodiplatinum is the first ever isolated metal-carbonyl complex. It was first synthesized by Paul Schützenberger in 1868. This discovery of [Pt(CO)Cl2]2 opened the door for the exploration of metal-carbonyl complexes and represents a significant breakthrough in the field of organometallic chemistry. Though [Pt(CO)Cl2]2 itself is not used in industry, metal carbonyls are an important class of catalysts for a wide range of industrial processes including hydroformylation amongst others. As such, the discovery of [Pt(CO)Cl2]2 was an important milestone both in the synthesis of organometallic compounds and in the development of many important catalysts widely used today.
