First, and foremost, my thanks go to Professor E.A.V. Ebsworth, whose guidance, stimulation and perseverance is an essential part of the thesis. Thanks are also due to Dr. D.W.H. Rankin, Dr. S. Cradock and Dr. J.D. Whitelock, whose experience with some of these systems and whose inspirations often saved the day. My sincere thanks are due to Mr. S.D.G. Henderson for his, help in the arts of glassblowing, both in teaching minor operations and in rectifying more serious problems, and in the general aspects of vacuum line and heavy metal chemistry; also, in part, thanks for the inspirations obtained during the solution of more difficult n.m.r. spectra. I include all the members of the inorganic research group for the many and various constructive suggestions. In the field of n.m.r., thanks are due to Mr. J.RA. Miller, for running the continuous wave n.m.r. spectra and teaching me the use of the Jeol FX60Q n.m.r. spectrometer; to Mr. L.E. Bell and Dr. A.S.F. Boyd for obtaining XL100 spectra and to Dr. D. Reed Mr. L.E. Bell, Dr. I.H. Sadler and Professor E.A.V. Ebsworth for obtaining spectra from the WH300 high field spectrometer; I also thank Professor E.A.V. Ebsworth for the guidance in solving the hardest spectra,. = co due b M. D.

Erskine, Mrs M. Manson, Mr. D.H. Bruce and Mrs E. Spearing. I also thank the Science and Engineering Research Council for a maintainance grant, and the University of Edinburgh for a Hope prize scholarship award and laboratory facilities. (vUi) 7ncmr'm Nuclear magnetic resonance studies of platinum, iridium and rhodium phosphine hydride complexes are described, along with some of their reactions with fluorinated phosphines and small simple silyl and germyl molecules. Chapter 1 gives an introductory preface to the work described in the thesis and Chapter 2 describes the experimental details involved. Chapter 3 describes the oxidative addition and subsequent reductive elimination reactions of H 2Pt(PCyHex 3 ) 2 towards SiH 4 , H 2S, H 2 Se, HPF 2E (E = 0, S, Se) and HX (X = Cl, Br, I). In all of these cases, a transient trihydride platinum(IV) species was detected, although all of these intermediates evolved hydrogen gas at room temperature, to yield isolable solids.
