Heteroleptic platinum(II) complexes of macrocyclic thioethers and halides: the crystal structures of [Pt(9S3)Cl2], [Pt(9S3)Br2], and [Pt(9S3)I2]

The synthesis, spectroscopic, and crystal structures of three heteroleptic thioether/halide platinum(II) (Pt(II)) complexes of the general formula [Pt(9S3)X₂] (9S3=1,4,7-trithiacyclononane, X=Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻) are presented. All three 9S3/dihalo complexes form very similar structures in which the Pt(II) center is surrounded by a cis arrangement of two halides and two sulfur atoms from the 9S3 ligand. The third sulfur from the 9S3 forms a long distance interaction with the Pt center resulting in an elongated square pyramidal structure with a S₂X₂+S₁ coordination geometry. The distances between the Pt(II) center and axial sulfur shorten with larger halide ions (Cl⁻=3.260(3) Å>Br⁻=3.243(2) Å>I⁻=3.207(2) Å). These distances are consistent with the halides functioning as π donor ligands, and their Pt---S axial distances fall intermediate between Pt(II) thioether complexes involving π acceptor and σ donor ligands. The ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shift values follow a similar trend with an increased shielding of the platinum ion with larger halide ions. The 9S3 ligand is fluxional in all of these complexes, producing a single carbon resonance. Additionally, a related series of homoleptic crown thioether complexes have been studied using ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR, and there is a strong correlation between the chemical shift and complex structure. Homoleptic crown thioethers show the anticipated upfield chemical shifts with increasing number of coordinated sulfurs. Complexes containing four coordinated sulfur donors have chemical shifts that fall in the range of −4000 to −4800 ppm while a value near −5900 ppm is indicative of five coordinated sulfurs. However, for S₄ crown thioether complexes, differences in the stereochemical orientation of lone pair electrons on the sulfur donors can greatly influence the observed ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts, often by several hundred ppm.     

Combined experimental and computational study of W(II), Ru(II), Pt(IV) and Cu(I) amine and amido complexes using 15N NMR spectroscopy

Using 2D proton-coupled gHSQC pulse sequences in addition to 1D ¹⁵N NMR experiments of ¹⁵N labeled systems, ¹⁵N NMR chemical shifts of a range of transition metal amido and amine complexes were determined. Tungsten(II), ruthenium(II), platinum(IV) and copper(I) complexes with aniline and their anilido variants were studied and compared to free aniline, lithium anilido and anilinium tetrafluoroborate. Upon coordination of aniline to transition metals, upfield chemical shifts of 20–60 ppm were observed. Deprotonation of the amine complexes to form amido complexes resulted in downfield chemical shifts of 40–60 ppm for all of the complexes except for the tungsten d⁴ system. For the tungsten(II) complexes, the cationic aniline complex displayed a downfield shift of approximately 56 ppm relative to the neutral anilido complex. The change in chemical shift for amine to amido conversion is proposed to depend on the ability of the amido ligand to π-bond with the metal center, which influences the magnitude of the paramagnetic screening term.     

Effects of chemical shift anisotropy and 14N coupling on the 1H and 195Pt nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of platinum complexes

Broadening of the ¹⁹⁵Pt satellites in the ¹H NMR spectrum of trans-Pt(ethene)(2-carboxy-pyridine)Cl₂ at high field arises from relaxation of ¹⁹⁵Pt via the chemical shift anisotropy mechanism. We also demonstrate that well-resolved ¹⁴N-¹⁹⁵Pt couplings can be observed in ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectra of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) amine complexes, including anti-tumour agents, at elevated temperature where scalar coupling contributions to ¹⁹⁵Pt relaxation are much reduced.     

Synthesis, X-ray crystallographic, and NMR characterizations of platinum(II) and platinum(IV) pyrophosphato complexes

A series of mononuclear cis-diamineplatinum(II) pyrophosphato complexes containing ammine (am), trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine (dach), and 1,2-ethanediamine (en) as the amine ligands were synthesized and characterized by (31)P and (195)Pt NMR spectroscopy. Chemical shifts of (31)P NMR resonances of these completely deprotonated complexes appear at 2.12, 1.78, and 1.93 ppm, indicating a coordination chemical shift of at least 8 ppm. The (195)Pt NMR chemical shifts for the am and dach complexes were observed at -1503 and -1729 ppm. The complexes are highly stable at neutral pH; no aquation due to the release of either phosphate or amine ligands was observed within 48 h. Furthermore, no partial deligation of the pyrophosphate ligand was detected within several days at neutral pH. At lower pH, however, release of a pyrophosphate ion was observed with concomitant formation of a bridged pyrophosphatoplatinum(II) dinuclear complex. The extended crystal structure containing the dach ligand revealed a zigzag chain stacked in a head-to-tail fashion. Moreover, two zigzag chains are juxtaposed in a parallel fashion and supported by additional hydrogen bonds reminiscent of DNA structures where two strands of DNA bases are held by hydrogen bonds. Theoretical calculations support the notion that the two dinuclear units are held together primarily by hydrogen bonds between the amine and phosphate moieties. Platinum(II) pyrophosphato complexes were readily oxidized by hydrogen peroxide to yield cis-diamine-trans-dihydroxopyrophosphatoplatinum(IV) complexes. Two of these complexes, containing am and en, were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Notable structural features include Pt-O (phosphate) bond distances of 2.021-2.086 A and departures from 180 degrees in trans-HO-Pt-OH bond angles, >90 degrees in O-Pt-O, and >90 degrees in cis-N-Pt-N bond angles. The departure in the trans-HO-Pt-OH angle is more pronounced in the 1,2-ethanediamine complex compared to the dach analogue because of the existence of two molecules possessing enantiomeric conformations within the asymmetric unit. (31)P NMR spectra exhibited well-resolved (195)Pt satellites with coupling constants of 15.4 Hz for the ammine and 25.9 Hz for both the 1,2-ethanediamine and trans-1,2-cyclohexanediamine complexes. The (195)Pt NMR spectrum of the ammine complex clearly showed coupling with two equivalent N atoms.     

195Pt-NMR. Spectroscopy. The direct measurement of the values 1J (195Pt, 14N) and chemical shift data for the complexes trans-[PtCl2(C2H4) (substituted pyridine)]

The values ⁿJ (¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹⁴N) are shown to be measurable directly from the ¹⁹⁵Pt spectrum for a variety of complexes containing nitrogen ligands. The sample temperature can play an important role in determining the width of the ¹⁹⁵Pt signal. ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts for the complexes trans-[PtCl₂(C₂H₄) (substituted pyridine)] have been measured. Methyl substitution at the 2- and 6-positions produces a relatively large downfield shift.     

Accurate prediction of 195Pt-NMR chemical shifts for hydrolysis products of [PtCl6]2− in acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions by non-relativistic DFT computational protocols

The ¹⁹⁵Pt-NMR chemical shifts of all possible hydrolysis products of [PtCl₆]^2? in acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions are calculated employing simple non-relativistic density functional theory computational protocols. Particularly, the GIAO-PBE0/SARC-ZORA(Pt) ∪ 6-31 + G(d)(E) computational protocol augmented with the universal continuum solvation model (SMD) performs the best for calculation of the ¹⁹⁵Pt-NMR chemical shifts of the Pt(IV) complexes existing in acidic and alkaline aqueous solutions of [PtCl₆]^2?. Excellent linear plots of δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) chemical shifts versus δ_exptl(¹⁹⁵Pt) chemical shifts and δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) versus the natural atomic charge Q_Pt are obtained. Very small changes in the Pt–Cl and Pt–O bond distances of the octahedral [PtCl₆]^2?, [Pt(OH)₆]^2?, and [Pt(OH₂)₆]⁴⁺ complexes have significant influence on the computed σ^{iso 195}Pt magnetic shielding tensor elements of the anionic [PtCl₆]^2? and the computed δ ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts of [Pt(OH)₆]^2? and [Pt(OH₂)₆]⁴⁺. An increase of the Pt–Cl and Pt–O bond distances by 0.001 Å (1 mÅ) is accompanied by a downfield shift increment of 17.0, 19.4, and 37.6 ppm mÅ^?1, respectively. Counter-anion effects in the case of the highly positive charged complexes drastically improve the accuracy of the calculated ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts providing values very close to the experimental ones.     

Prediction of 195Pt NMR chemical shifts of dissolution products of H2[Pt(OH)6] in nitric acid solutions by DFT methods: how important are the counter‐ion effects?

¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of octahedral Pt(IV) complexes with general formula [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2?, [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} (n = 1–6), and [Pt(NO₃)_{6 ? n ? m}(OH)_m(OH₂)_n]^{?2 + n ? m} formed by dissolution of platinic acid, H₂[Pt(OH)₆], in aqueous nitric acid solutions are calculated employing density functional theory methods. Particularly, the gauge‐including atomic orbitals (GIAO)‐PBE0/segmented all‐electron relativistically contracted–zeroth‐order regular approximation (SARC–ZORA)(Pt) ∪ 6–31G(d,p)(E)/Polarizable Continuum Model computational protocol performs the best. Excellent second‐order polynomial plots of δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) versus δ_exptl(¹⁹⁵Pt) chemical shifts and δ_calcd(¹⁹⁵Pt) versus the natural atomic charge Q_Pt are obtained. Despite of neglecting relativistic and spin orbit effects the good agreement of the calculated δ ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts with experimental values is probably because of the fact that the contribution of relativistic and spin orbit effects to computed σ^{iso 195}Pt magnetic shielding of Pt(IV) coordination compounds is effectively cancelled in the computed δ ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shifts, because the relativistic corrections are expected to be similar in the complexes and the proper reference standard used. To probe the counter‐ion effects on the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the anionic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2? and cationic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} (n = 0–3) complexes we calculated the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the neutral (PyH)₂[Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}] (n = 1–6; PyH = pyridinium cation, C₅H₅NH⁺) and [Pt(NO₃)_n(H₂O)_{6 ? n}](NO₃)_{4 ? n} (n = 0–3) complexes. Counter‐anion effects are very important for the accurate prediction of the ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts of the cationic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH₂)_{6 ? n}]^{4 ? n} complexes, while counter‐cation effects are less important for the anionic [Pt(NO₃)_n(OH)_{6 ? n}]^2? complexes. The simple computational protocol is easily implemented even by synthetic chemists in platinum coordination chemistry that dispose limited software availability, or locally existing routines and knowhow.

Quantum-chemical calculations of NMR chemical shifts of organic molecules: IV. Effect of intermolecular coordination on <Superscript>31</Superscript>P NMR shielding constants and chemical shifts of molecular complexes of phosphorus pentachloride with azoles

Intermolecular coordination effects on the ³¹P NMR spectra of molecular complexes of N-vinylimidazole and 1-allyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole with phosphorus pentachloride were studied by theoretical and experimental methods. The formation of intermolecular dative N→P bond was shown to be accompanied by upfield shift of the phosphorus resonance signal by more than 200 ppm. Appreciable contribution of relativistic effects to ³¹P NMR chemical shifts was revealed; the spin-orbital contribution to ³¹P shielding constant was estimated at >210 ppm. Consideration of solvent effect was found to be crucial while studying steric structure of molecular complexes of azoles with phosphorus pentachloride and intermolecular coordination effects on 31P NMR chemical shifts.     

Synthesis,NMR spectroscopic characterization and structure of a divinyldisilazane‐(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) complex: observation of isotope‐induced chemical shifts 1Δ12/13C(195Pt)

Tetramethyldivinyldisilazane‐(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) was prepared, characterized in solid state by X‐ray crystallography and in solution by multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ²⁹Si, ³¹P and ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR). Numerous signs of spin–spin coupling constants were determined by two‐dimensional heteronuclear shift correlations (HETCOR) and two‐dimensional ¹H/¹H COSY experiments. Isotope‐induced chemical shifts ¹Δ^12/13C(¹⁹⁵Pt) were measured from ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectra of the title compound as well as of other Pt(0), Pt(II) and Pt(IV) compounds for comparison. In contrast to other heavy nuclei such as ¹⁹⁹Hg or ²⁰⁷Pb, the “normal” shifts of the heavy isotopomers to low frequencies are found, covering a range of >500 ppb.

31P- und 195Pt-NMR-Untersuchungen an Diplatin(I)-Komplexen des Typs [Pt2(μ-SPR2)2L2] (L = PR3, PhP(OPh)2, P(OPh)3, CNR)

³¹P and ¹⁹⁵Pt N.M.R. Investigations on Diplatinum (I) Complexes of the Type [Pt₂(μ-SPR₂)₂L₂] (L = PR₃, PhP(OPh)₂, P(OPh)₃, CNR) ³¹P-, ¹⁹⁵Pt-chemical shifts and ¹⁹⁵Pt–³¹P- resp. ³¹P–³¹P-coupling constants of a series of doubly bridged diplatinum(I) complexes are reported. ³¹P-coordination chemical shifts of the terminal ligands of complexes of type [Pt₂(μ-SPR₂)₂(P′R₃′)₂] and some of the various coupling constants are strongly influenced by the π-acceptor strength of these ligands. J(¹⁹⁵Pt–¹⁹⁵Pt) is found to change the sign among the series of complexes investigated. Thermal singlett triplet exitation giving rise to the paramagnetism of these complexes observed by preliminary EPR-measurements and confirmed by EHT-calculations is deduced from the large values of ²J(P–P′) and ³J(P′P′) as well as the unusually high temperature dependence of some coupling constants and other NMR features. The chemical stability of the doubly bridged core, the coordination shifts of the bridging phosphorus atoms and EHT-calculations suggest a view of aromaticity of the [Pt₂(μ-SPR₂)₂](M–M) unit of these complexes.     

Solution and solid state NMR studies of some selenium analogues of auranofin (an anti-arthritic gold drug)

Three mixed ligand complexes of gold(I) with phosphines and selenones, [Et₃PAuSe=C<]Br as analogues of auranofin (Et₃PAuSR) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR methods. A decrease in the IR frequency of the C=Se mode of selenones upon complexation is indicative of selenone binding to gold(I) via a selenone group. An upfield shift in ¹³C NMR for the C=Se resonance of the selenones and downfield shifts in ³¹P NMR for the R₃P moiety are consistent with the selenium coordination to gold(I). ¹³C solid state NMR shows the chemical shift difference between free and bound selenone to gold(I) for ImSe and DiazSe to be ca 10 and 17?ppm respectively. Large ⁷⁷Se NMR chemical shifts (55?ppm) upon complexation in the solid state for [Et₃PAuDiazSe]Br compared to [Et₃PAuImSe]Br (10?ppm) indicates the former to be more stable and the Au–Se bond to be stronger than in the latter complex.     

Crystallographic and Dynamic Aspects of Solid‐State NMR Calibration Compounds: Towards ab Initio NMR Crystallography

The excellent results of dispersion‐corrected density functional theory (DFT‐D) calculations for static systems have been well established over the past decade. The introduction of dynamics into DFT‐D calculations is a target, especially for the field of molecular NMR crystallography. Four ¹³C ss‐NMR calibration compounds are investigated by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, molecular dynamics and DFT‐D calculations. The crystal structure of 3‐methylglutaric acid is reported. The rotator phases of adamantane and hexamethylbenzene at room temperature are successfully reproduced in the molecular dynamics simulations. The calculated ¹³C chemical shifts of these compounds are in excellent agreement with experiment, with a root‐mean‐square deviation of 2.0 ppm. It is confirmed that a combination of classical molecular dynamics and DFT‐D chemical shift calculation improves the accuracy of calculated chemical shifts.     

Solvent effects and dynamic averaging of 195Pt NMR shielding in cisplatin derivatives

The influences of solvent effects and dynamic averaging on the (195)Pt NMR shielding and chemical shifts of cisplatin and three cisplatin derivatives in aqueous solution were computed using explicit and implicit solvation models. Within the density functional theory framework, these simulations were carried out by combining ab initio molecular dynamics (aiMD) simulations for the phase space sampling with all-electron relativistic NMR shielding tensor calculations using the zeroth-order regular approximation. Structural analyses support the presence of a solvent-assisted "inverse" or "anionic" hydration previously observed in similar square-planar transition-metal complexes. Comparisons with computationally less demanding implicit solvent models show that error cancellation is ubiquitous when dealing with liquid-state NMR simulations. After aiMD averaging, the calculated chemical shifts for the four complexes are in good agreement with experiment, with relative deviations between theory and experiment of about 5% on average (1% of the Pt(II) chemical shift range).     

Heteroleptic platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes with thiacrown and diimine ligands

We wish to report the synthesis, crystal structures, spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of several new Pt(II) heteroleptic complexes containing the thiacrown, 9S3 (1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) with a series of substituted phenanthroline ligands and related diimine systems. These five ligands are 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline(5,6-Me₂-phen), 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline(4,7-Me₂-phen), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline(4,7-Ph₂-phen), 2,2′-bipyrimidine(bpm), and pyrazino[2,3-f]quinoxaline or 1,4,5,8-tetraazaphenanthrene(tap). All complexes have the general formula [Pt(9S3)(N₂)](PF₆)₂ (N₂ = diimine ligand) and form similar structures in which the Pt(II) center is surrounded by a cis arrangement of the two N donors from the diimine chelate and two sulfur atoms from the 9S3 ligand. The third 9S3 sulfur in each structure forms a longer interaction with the platinum resulting in an elongated square pyramidal structure, and this distance is sensitive to the identity of the diimine ligand. In addition, we report the synthesis, structural, electrochemical, and spectroscopic properties of related Pd(II) 9S3 complex with tap. The ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts for the six Pt(II) complexes show a value near −3290 ppm, consistent with a cis-PtS₂N₂ coordination sphere although more electron-withdrawing ligands such as tap show resonances shifted by almost 100 ppm downfield. The physicochemical properties of the complexes generally follow the electron-donating or withdrawing properties of the phenanthroline substituents.     

195Pt NMR--theory and application

This critical review highlights the progress in (195)Pt NMR over the last 25 years. In particular, some of the recent applications of (195)Pt NMR in catalytic and mechanistic studies, intermetallics and drug binding studies are discussed. (195)Pt NMR chemical shifts obtained from both theoretical studies and experiments are presented for Pt(0), Pt(II), Pt(III) and Pt(IV) complexes. (195)Pt coupling with various nuclei (viz. coupling constants) have also been collected in addition to data on (195)Pt relaxation. The latest developments in the theoretical knowledge and experimental advances have made (195)Pt NMR into a rich source of information in many fields. (164 references.).     

195Pt NMR studies on monomer and dimer complexes. Observation of Pt?Pt coupling constants

Various platinum complexes have been studied by ¹⁹⁵Pt FT NMR. Long range J(³¹P¹⁹⁵Pt) and J(¹⁹⁵Pt¹⁹⁵Pt) are observed in dinuclear complexes. The value of ¹J(³¹P¹⁹⁵Pt) in monomeric and dimeric complexes is shown to depend mainly upon the Pt—P bond length.     

Structure of binuclear platinum(III) acetamidate complexes in solutions as probed by <Superscript>195</Superscript>Pt, <Superscript>13</Superscript>C,and <Superscript>1</Superscript>H NMR spectroscopy

¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹H, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy was used to study the structure of binuclear platinum(III) acetamidate complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline and 2,2′-bipyridine ligands [Pt₂(phen)₂(acam)₄](NO₃)₂ (1) and [Pt₂(bipy)₂(acam)₄](NO₃)₂ (2) in aqueous solutions. The ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectra of solutions of complexes 1 and 2 in D₂O exhibit two signals with satellites due to the ¹⁹⁵Pt–¹⁹⁵Pt spin-spin coupling (¹ J(Pt–Pt) ≈ 6345 Hz), whereas their ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra contain four sets of signals for the protons and the carbon atoms of the heterocyclic and acetamidate ligands. The signals were assigned using the COSY, NOESY, and HSQC/ HMBC experiments and comparing the coordination shifts of the signals for the protons of heterocycles. These data allowed us to draw a conclusion that binuclear complexes 1 and 2 in solution have a head-to-head structure with nonequivalent platinum(III) atoms (coordination cores PtN₅ and PtN₃O₂), the axial-equatorial coordination of the bidentate heterocyclic molecules, and two bridging and two terminal acetamidate ligands.
