Synthesis and study of Pt(II)-aromatic amines complexes of the types cis- and trans-Pt(amine)2(NO3)2 and cis-Pt(amine)2(R(COO)2)

Complexes of the types cis- and trans-Pt(amine)2(NO3)2 with amines containing a phenyl group were synthesized and studied mainly by IR and multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. The cis complexes could be synthesized pure only with the amines of the type Ph–R–NH2 (R = alkyl), while pure trans compounds were synthesized with all the studied amines. In 195Pt NMR spectroscopy, the dinitrato complexes of the amines Ph–R–NH2 were observed around −1700 ppm for the cis isomers and at about −1580 for the trans complexes. For the other amines, where a phenyl ring is directly attached to the amino group, the signals were observed at lower fields, −1528 ppm for cis-Pt(PhNH2)(NO3)2 and around −1450 ppm for all the trans isomers. There is a linear relationship between the δ(Pt) of the Pt(amine)2(NO3)2 complexes and the pKa of the protonated amines. The coupling constants 2J(195Pt–1HN) are larger in the cis compounds (ave. 76 Hz) than in the trans isomers (ave. 63 Hz). The complexes cis-Pt(amine)2(R(COO)2) with bidentate dicarboxylato ligands were also synthesized and characterized mainly by IR spectroscopy. The compounds apparently decompose in DMF and are too insoluble in other solvents for solution studies.

Compounds of the types cis- and trans-Pt(amine)2(NO3)2 and Pt(amine)2(R(COO)2) with amines containing a phenyl group have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy. The dinitrato complexes were studied by 195Pt and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The coupling constants J(195Pt–1H) are larger for the cis isomers than for the trans compounds. In 195Pt NMR, the trans compounds were observed at lower fields than the cis isomers, while in 1H NMR, the reverse was observed for the NH groups.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
