The first class of square-planar Pt(II) complexes bearing electron-poor alkenes, i.e., [PtMe-N,N-chelate)(η2-CH2=CHCOR)]BF4 (R = H, NMe2, Me, OMe), is described. By using N,N ligands with suitable steric properties, it was possible to inhibit olefin dynamic processes in solution, thus allowing a thorough characterization of the complexes. Insertion of methyl acrylate into the Pt-Me bond provides a rare example of migratory insertion of an alkene into a Pt-alkyl bond.
