X-ray structure of Pt(dipic)(H2O) (where H2dipic = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) ; the first structurally characterized mononuclear complex with a PtII(N1O3) donor atom set
摘要:
Reaction of trans-[Pt(Hdipic)(2)]. 2H(2)O, where H(2)dipic = 2,6-pyridinedi-carboxylic acid, with thorium nitrate in water results in the abstraction of one of the dipic ligands and the formation of the compound Pt(dipic)(H2O). This has been shown by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study to have the surprisingly rare mononuclear Pt-II (N1O3) coordination geometry. It appears to be the first structurally characterized example of a mononuclear Pt-II complex with that type of donor atom set.
The kinetics of the substitution reactions of [Pt(diPic(tr))(H2O)] and [Pt(dipic(tr))(L)] where H(2)dipic=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid with the subscript ((tr)) denoting its tridendate mode of bonding and L=imidazole, benzimidazole and pyrazole with excess L have been studied in dimethylformamide solution by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The reactions show mono- and bi-phasic features depending on the Pt-II substrate. The tridentate dipic ligand transforms to a bidentate one allowing the entry of the second molecule of the N-bases in the course of the reaction. The kinetic study has been substantiated by product isolation, IR and NMR spectral analysis. The reactions follow normal square-planar substitution mainly in an associative way. Rate parameters have been evaluated under different conditions. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
