    Weliange, Nandita Malathi (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
    The facile reaction between tetranuclear Pt-oxo complex [(COD)4Pt4([mu]2-O)2Cl2]2[BF4]2 (1) and norbornene (NB) yields the stable platinaoxetane [(COD)2Pt2(OC7H10)Cl][BF4] (2) in quantitative yield. A rapid reaction between ...
