3. Insertion reactions with a 16-electron complex
If you start with a 16-electron complex, you don't need to free up a coordination site for insertion. What's more, the arrival of a ligand on the free site may well give rise to the insertion. This is the case with the following two platinum complexes, which insert one and then two CO :
The question immediately arose as to whether molecules other than CO could be inserted, although the mechanism is less obvious.
The compound
