Revisiting the head-head dinuclear 1-methyluracil complex of cisplatin: New insights into its solution behavior

► A combined 1H NMR/ESI-MS study on a dinuclear complex of cis-(NH3)PtII and 1-methyluracil is reported. ► Rearrangement reactions and partial loss of NH3 takes place in water. ► Pt oxidation is in the low % range only.
