Diiodo(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum(II) (Cat No.: M062876), with the formula PtI₂(COD), is a square planar organoplatinum complex featuring a platinum(II) center coordinated to two iodide ligands and one 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) ligand. This compound appears as a dark red to brown solid and serves as a valuable precursor in organometallic and catalytic chemistry. The labile COD ligand allows substitution with various ligands, enabling the synthesis of diverse platinum complexes. It is used in homogeneous catalysis, including hydrogenation and C–C bond formation, and in materials and coordination chemistry research.
