Double lithiation of 9,10-dihydroanthracene (DHA) or 6,13-dihydropentacene (DHP) with nBuLi, followed by the addition of B-2(NMe2)(2)Cl-2, affords 9,10-DHA-9,10-diyl- (1a) or 6,13-DHP-6,13-diyl-bridged B-2(NMe2)(2) (1p) in good yields. Upon treatment with Pt(PEt3)(3) in C6H6 at 60 degrees C, both compounds cleanly insert a Pt(PEt3)(2) moiety into their B-B bonds to furnish the corresponding diboryl Pt(II) complexes 2a and 2p. Compound 2a reacts with excess tBuCCH to give an equimolar mixture of the B-(tBu)C-C(H)-B-bridged 9,10-DHA 3 and Pt(eta(2)-tBuCCH)(PEt3)(2) (4). The addition of isocyanides to either the Pt(II) complex 2a or the Pt-free species 1a yields bicyclic products, in which a 9,10-DHA-9,10-diyl fragment is spanned by a B-C(-NR)-B linker (R = tBu (5), iPr (6)). Both 5 and 6 are extremely prone to hydrolysis. In the case of 6, a water-induced rearrangement reaction leading to a B-C-bridged 9,10-DHA 8 was observed.
