in benzene-d6 (N2); soln. of Pt complex was treated with acrylonitrile for 30 min; detected by (31)P- and (1)H-NMR;

With  C6H5OH in  benzene  byproducts: aniline; (N2); to soln. of Pt complex was added excess phenol and solvent removed in vac.; from residual oil excess of phenol was sublimed off in vac., residue was extd. with pentane, on cooling exts. at - 10°C for several d crystals were obtained;   

Multi-step reaction with 2 steps 1: TlNO3 / acetonitrile; water2: benzene; methanol
