A 13C-NMR. Study of Some Arsenic Complexes of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II)

The ¹³C-NMR. spectra of a series of tri-n-alkyl arsenic complexes of platinum and palladium have been measured. In these complexes it is suggested that the carbon chemical shift of the atom bound directly to the arsenic is a useful structural probe. The chemical shift of the second carbon atom in the chain is interpreted in terms of interactions within the chains of anyone ligand. The values ²J(Pt, C) and ³J(Pt, C) are presented.
