The reaction of Li[Fe(CO)4(PCy2)] with trans-PtCl(H)(PEt3)2 results in the formation of the hydride complex (CO)3Fe((μ-H)((μ-PCy2)Pt(PEt3)2, 1. This heterobimetallic, phosphido-bridged complex reacts with one equivalent of HBF4•Et2O to give the complex [(CO)3Fe(μ-H)2((μ-PCy2)Pt(PEt3)2][BF4], 2, which contains two bridging hydride ligands. This species is isolated and fully characterized by 31P1H} and 1H NMR and infrared spectroscopy. In contrast, 1 reacts with one equivalent of HCl•DMA (DMA = dimethylacetamide) to give the complex (CO)3ClFe(μ-PCy2)Pt(PEt3)2, 3. This species is the result of oxidative addition of HCl with subsequent reductive elimination of H2(g). This complex is fully characterized by 31P1H} and 1H NMR, infrared spectroscopy and an X-ray crystal structure determination. 3 crystallizes in the space group [Formula: see text] with a = 10.037(4) Å, b = 10.644(3) Å, c = 17.137(9) Å, α = 102.80(3)°, β = 76.74(3)°, γ = 103.99(3)°, V = 1702(1) Å3, and Z = 2. The structure was refined to R = 2.54% and Rw = 2.73% for 4056 reflections with Fo2 > 3σ(Fo2). Keywords: heterobimetallic, hydride, phosphide, protonation.
