Di-μ-chloro-dichlorobis(ethylene)diplatinum(II)(CAT: M062107), commonly known as Zeise’s dimer, is a platinum-based organometallic compound featuring two platinum(II) centers bridged by two chloride ligands and each coordinated to an ethylene molecule and a terminal chloride. This yellow crystalline complex serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of platinum-based catalysts and coordination compounds. It is widely used in organometallic and inorganic chemistry research for studying metal–olefin interactions, ligand substitution, and catalysis mechanisms. The compound’s stable Pt–ethylene bonding and dimeric structure make it suitable for applications in homogeneous catalysis, especially in hydrogenation and polymerization reactions.
