Aerobic oxidation-induced virtual radical coupling of mixed-metal PtRh2 trinuclear complexes accompanied by the formation of a Rh–Rh bond

　
A mixed-metal Pt^IIRh^I₂ trinuclear complex with triply bridging sulfide ligands, generated by the reaction of a Rh(I) nbd complex with a bis(hydrosulfido) Pt(II) complex bearing a bisNHC ligand, is oxidized under aerobic conditions to give a diamagnetic hexanuclear cluster accompanied by the formation of a Rh^II–Rh^II bond.
