Reaction Steps

The platinum-styrene complex used in the examples is prepared by adding about 6 parts of sodium bicarbonate to a mixture containing 3 parts of chloroplatinic acid (H2PtCl6.6H2O), 6 parts of styrene and 50 parts of ethanol. The mixture is heated to reflux temperature, (about 55° C.) and refluxed for about 35 minutes with agitation, and then cooled to room temperature. The resultant mixture which contains orange crystals is filtered and the crystals washed with about 30 parts of acetone. After adding about 30 parts of xylene to the filtrate, crystals are again formed. The crystalline mixture is filtered and the orange crystals are recovered and dried. These crystals are then dissolved in isopropanol.
