Synthesis and characterization of binuclear Pt(IV) complexes and tetranuclear mixed valence complexes of Platinum(II)-Platinum(IV)

摘要

The binuclear platinum(IV) complexes [NBu4](2)[Pt-2(IV)(mu-Cl)(2)(C6F5)(4)Cl-4] (2) and [Pt-2IV(mu-C8H6N4)(2)(C6F5)(4)Cl-4] (4) have been synthesized by oxidative addition of chlorine to the binuclear platinum(II) species, but [NBu4](2)[Pt-2IV(mu-OH)(2)(C6F5)(4)Cl-4] (3) has been synthesized by substitution of the chloride bridges of the platinum(IV) complex. The square planar platinum environments of the Pt(II) starting materials change, as expected, to Pt(IV) octahedral environments with the chloride ligands in trans-position. Only minor changes in the Pt-X (X = Cl-bridge, OH) interatomic distances are produced because of the oxidation.
