Title: Hydrocarbon C-H activation with Tp[prime]Pt complexes

Abstract: This dissertation focuses on investigations into the reactivity and regioselectivity of hydrocarbon C-H bond activation by Tp[prime]Pt(IV) (Tp [prime] = hydridotris(3,5- dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) reagents via (1) thermolysis, (2) Lewis acid addition, and (3) low temperature protonation reactions. Insertion of alpha-olefins into a Pt-H or Pt-Ph bond has been found to occur. The synthetic and mechanistic investigations of these insertion reactions provide a starting point toward the aim of hydrocarbon functionalization.--Partial abstract.
