The dicationic Pt complex [(tBu2bpy)Pt](NTf2)2·1/2C6H6 (tBu2bpy = 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine, NTf2– = N(SO2CF3)2–) has been isolated and characterized. The new complex is supported by a simple bidentate bipyridine ligand and weakly coordinating, easily displaced triflimidate counterions. The Pt salt is competent for allylic C–H activation in aprotic, nonpolar media.
