Ethylenebis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) (Cat No.: M055399) is a square planar organometallic complex with the formula Pt(PPh₃)₂(C₂H₄), featuring a platinum(0) center coordinated to two triphenylphosphine ligands and an ethylene molecule. It is air-sensitive and widely used as a homogeneous catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis, including hydrogenation, hydrosilylation, and C–C bond-forming reactions. The combination of electron-rich phosphines and labile ethylene ligand imparts both stability and reactivity, making this complex valuable for studying platinum-mediated transformations in academic and industrial organometallic chemistry.
