Synthesis of complexes of the type cis-Pt(amine) (unsaturated ligand)Cl2 and crystal structure cis-Pt(methylaimne) (dimethylhexynediol)Cl2
Complexes of the type cis-Pt(L)(un)Cl2 where L = primary amine or methyl derivative of pyridine and un = cyclopentene, cyclohexene, or dimethylhexynediol, have been synthesized from the reaction of K[Pt(L)Cl3] with the unsaturated ligand in water. The compounds were characterized and studied by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure of cis-Pt(CH3NH2)((CH3)2C(OH)—C≡C—C(OH)(CH3)2)Cl2 was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 6.544(2), b = 14.304(7), c = 15.508(7) Å, β = 109.39(2)°, and Z = 4. The coordinates and the anisotropic thermal factors were refined by full-matrix least-squares analysis to a R factor of 0.048 and wR = 0.047. The coordination around the platinum atom is square planar and the acetylenic ligand is perpendicular to the Pt plane.
