Reactions of halogens with Pt(II) complexes of N-alkyl- and N,N-dialkyl-N'-benzoylthioureas: oxidative addition and formation of an I2 inclusion compound

The treatment of cis-[Pt(II)(L(1a/b)-S,O)2] complexes of N,N-diethyl- (HL(1a)) and N,N-di(n-butyl)-N'-benzoylthiourea (HL(1b)) with I2 or Br2 in chloroform, leads to rapid oxidative addition to yield several geometric isomers of [Pt(IV)(L-S,O)(2)X(2)](X = I, Br); the reactions can be monitored by (195)Pt NMR and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The products cis-[Pt(IV)(L(1a)-S,O)2I2] and cis-[Pt(IV)(L(1a)-S,O)2Br2], which have been isolated and structurally characterized, are the first-reported crystal structures of complexes of Pt(iv) with this class of ligand. Molecules of 6 pack such that the I-Pt-I axes are essentially aligned, with unusually close nearest-neighbour iodide contacts (3.553(1)A). These short II intermolecular interactions lead to infinite chains of weakly connected molecules in crystals of the compound. No such interactions are evident in the corresponding crystals of . Reaction of the Pt(II) complex of N-propyl-N'-benzoylthiourea (H2L(2a))cis-/trans-[Pt(II)(H2L(2a)-S)2Br2] with Br2 also results in oxidative addition, to yield trans-Pt(IV)(H2L(2a)-S)2Br4. By contrast, treatment of cis-/trans-[Pt(II)(H2L(2a)-S)2I2] with I2 does not lead to an oxidative addition product, yielding instead an interesting iodine inclusion compound of Pt(II), trans-[Pt(II)(H2L(2a)-S)2I2.I2. In 8, short intermolecular II distances of 3.453(1)A between I2 and coordinated iodide ions in trans-[Pt(II)(H(2)L(2a)-S)(2)I(2)] molecules, result in infinite chains of weakly linked trans-[Pt(II)(H2L(2a)-S)2I2]...I2 groups in the lattice. However, the empirically estimated bond order of 0.75 for the included I2 molecules does not support the possible existence of discrete tetraiodide ions (I4(2-)) in the lattice of compound 8.     

Block copolymer micellization induced microphase mass transfer: partition of Pd(II), Pt(IV) and Rh(III) in three-liquid-phase systems of S201-EOPO-Na2SO4-H2O

Three-liquid-phase partitioning of Pd(II), Pt(IV) and Rh(III) in systems of S201(diisoamyl sulfide)/nonane-EOPO(polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide random block copolymer)-Na(2)SO(4)-H(2)O was investigated. Experimental results indicated that the selective enrichment of Pd(II), Pt(IV) and Rh(III) respectively into the S201 organic top phase, EOPO-based middle phase and Na(2)SO(4) bottom phase was achieved by control over the phase behavior of the three-liquid-phase systems (TLPS). The microphase mass transfer behavior of Pt(IV), Pd(II) and Rh(III) was closely related to the micellization of EOPO molecules. A suggested micro-mechanism model and a mass transfer model describe the micellization of EOPO molecules and the effect on mass transfer of platinum ions across the microphase interfaces. The salting-out induced continuous dehydration and ordered arrangement of the hydrophilic PEO segments in amphiphilic EOPO micelle, and these are the main driving forces for mass transfer of platinum metal ions onto the exposed activity sites of the dehydrated PEO segments. The differences in microphase interfacial structure of EOPO micelles are crucial for the efficient separation between Pt(IV), Pd(II) and Rh(III).     

Pt(II)- and Pt(IV)-bridged cofacial diporphyrins via carbon-transition metal sigma-bonds

A directly Pt(IV)-bridged cofacial diporphyrin has been synthesized by the cyclometalation reaction of beta-pyridylporphyrin with a Pt(IV) salt. Upon treatment with methylhydrazine, the Pt(IV) bridge is reduced to the Pt(II) center, resulting in a Pt(II)-bridged cofacial dimer with a helicity inversion of the complex as well as change in electronic communication through the metal bridge.     

First electrogeneration of a platinum(IV) porphyrin: elucidation of the Pt(II/IV) and Pt(IV/II) oxidation-reduction processes in nonaqueous media

The first example for electrogeneration of a Pt(IV) porphyrin from its Pt(II) form is presented and the Pt(II/IV) and reverse Pt(IV/II) oxidation-reduction processes are elucidated by electrochemistry and thin-layer UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry. Three products, [(TPP˙(+))Pt(II)](+), [(TPP)Pt(IV)](2+) and [(TPP˙(+))Pt(IV)](3+), produced by electrooxidation of the Pt(II) porphyrin have been characterized by in situ spectroelectrochemistry and ESR measurements after controlled potential bulk electrolysis. The first definitive evidence for the electrochemical conversion of a Pt(iv) porphyrin to its Pt(II) form is also presented. The potential for this electroreduction is highly dependent upon the nature of the anion, ClO(4)(-) or Cl(-). A mechanism for the reversible conversion between Pt(II) and Pt(IV) tetraphenylporphyrins is proposed.     

Reductive elimination/oxidative addition of carbon-hydrogen bonds at Pt(IV)/Pt(II) centers: mechanistic studies of the solution thermolyses of Tp(Me2)Pt(CH3)2H

Reductive elimination of methane occurs upon solution thermolysis of kappa(3)-Tp(Me)2Pt(IV)(CH(3))(2)H (1, Tp(Me)2 = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate). The platinum product of this reaction is determined by the solvent. C-D bond activation occurs after methane elimination in benzene-d(6), to yield kappa(3)-Tp(Me)2Pt(IV)(CH(3))(C(6)D(5))D (2-d(6)), which undergoes a second reductive elimination/oxidative addition reaction to yield isotopically labeled methane and kappa(3)-Tp(Me)2Pt(IV)(C(6)D(5))(2)D (3-d(11)). In contrast, kappa(2)-Tp(Me)2Pt(II)(CH(3))(NCCD(3)) (4) was obtained in the presence of acetonitrile-d(3), after elimination of methane from 1. Reductive elimination of methane from these Pt(IV) complexes follows first-order kinetics, and the observed reaction rates are nearly independent of solvent. Virtually identical activation parameters (DeltaH(++)(obs) = 35.0 +/- 1.1 kcal/mol, DeltaS(++)(obs) = 13 +/- 3 eu) were measured for the reductive elimination of methane from 1 in both benzene-d(6) and toluene-d(8). A lower energy process (DeltaH(++)(scr) = 26 +/- 1 kcal/mol, DeltaS(++)(scr) = 1 +/- 4 eu) scrambles hydrogen atoms of 1 between the methyl and hydride positions, as confirmed by monitoring the equilibration of kappa(3)-Tp(Me)()2Pt(IV)(CH(3))(2)D (1-d(1)()) with its scrambled isotopomer, kappa(3)-Tp(Me)2Pt(IV)(CH(3))(CH(2)D)H (1-d(1'). The sigma-methane complex kappa(2)-Tp(Me)2Pt(II)(CH(3))(CH(4)) is proposed as a common intermediate in both the scrambling and reductive elimination processes. Kinetic results are consistent with rate-determining dissociative loss of methane from this intermediate to produce the coordinatively unsaturated intermediate [Tp(Me)2Pt(II)(CH(3))], which reacts rapidly with solvent. The difference in activation enthalpies for the H/D scrambling and C-H reductive elimination provides a lower limit for the binding enthalpy of methane to [Tp(Me)2Pt(II)(CH(3))] of 9 +/- 2 kcal/mol.     

First metallamacrocyclic complexes of Pt(iv) with 3,3,3',3'-tetraalkyl-1,1'-phenylenedicarbonylbis(thioureas): synthesis by direct or electrolytic oxidative addition of I(2), Br(2) and Cl(2)

Elemental I(2) and Br(2) cleanly react with the 3:3 Pt(ii) metallamacrocycle of 3,3,3',3'-tetra(n-butyl)-1,1'-terephthaloylbis(thiourea)(cis-[Pt(II)(3)(L(p)(1)-S,O)(3)]3), in chloroform at room temperature, to yield oxidative addition products; (195)Pt NMR studies reveal that a stepwise oxidative addition readily occurs to each of the Pt(ii) centres in the metallamacrocycle to yield the mixed valence species cis-[Pt(II)(2)Pt(IV)I(2)(L(p)(1)-S,O)(3)] and cis-[Pt(II)Pt(IV)(2)I(4)(L(p)(1)-S,O)(3)], and the fully oxidised cis-[Pt(IV)(3)I(6)(L(p)(1)-S,O)(3)] in solution, depending on the mole ratio I(2):3. Similar results are obtained on treatment of solutions of 3 with elemental Br(2). Treatment of the corresponding 2:2 Pt(ii) complex of 3,3,3',3'-tetraethyl-1,1'-isophthaloylbis(thiourea)(cis-[Pt(II)(2)(L(m)(1)-S,O)(2)]4) with iodine, results in facile oxidative addition to yield cis-[Pt(IV)(2)(L(m)(1)-S,O)(2)I(4)], with a trans-Pt(iv)-iodo arrangement. Molecules in the crystal structure of 5 have their trans-Pt(iv)-iodo axes essentially aligned, with very close intermolecular iodide contacts (3.775(1)A), resulting in chains of weakly bound metallamacrocycles in the solid. An alternative electrolytic synthesis method, using a simple two-compartment glass cell containing 4 and a chosen halide salt in dichloromethane, led to the formation of cis-[Pt(IV)(2)(L(m)(1)-S,O)(2)Br(4)] 6 and cis-[Pt(IV)(2)(L(m)(1)-S,O)(2)Cl(4)] 7, completing characterization of a series of first-reported trans-Pt(iv)-X (X=I, Br, Cl) metallamacrocyclic complexes.     

Interaction of Au(III) and Pt(IV) complex ions with Fe(II) ions as a scavenging and a reducing agent: a basic study on the recovery of Au and Pt by a chemical method

In order to develop a chemical technique for the recovery of gold (Au) and platinum (Pt) in the metallic state from spent catalysts, e.g., catalysts for environmental protection and automobile and petroleum catalysts, the coprecipitation behaviors of Au(III) and Pt(IV) complex ions with Fe(OH)(2) as a scavenging and reducing agent were investigated. The Au(III) complex ions were found to be stoichiometrically and rapidly reduced to metallic Au due to electron transfer in acidic aqueous solution prior to coprecipitation with Fe(OH)(2). Conversely, Pt(IV) complex ions were reduced only after coprecipitation with Fe(OH)(2) due to electron transfer through a Pt(IV)-O-Fe(II) bond on the solid Fe(OH)(2). Using this chemical technique, Au and Pt can be selectively and effectively recovered in the metallic state.     

Preconcentration and separation of trace Pd(II) and Pt(IV) with silica gel bonded by aminopropyl-benzoylazo-4-(2-pyridyl-azo)-resorcinol

This paper reports a simple and highly selective method for preconcentrating and separating of trace Pd(II) and Pt(IV) with silica gel bonded by aminopropyl-benzoylazo-4-(2-pyridy-lazo)-resorcinol (ABPR-SG). ABPR-SG is stable in solution from 6 mol/L HCl to pH 7.0 and in common organic solvents. The maximum adsorptive capacity of Pd(n) on ABPR-SG is 362 μmol/g. After preconcentration and separation by using ABPR-SG column, Pd(II) and Pt(IV) of μg/L level in artificial water samples can be measured reliably by common spedrophotometry. The maximum concentration factors of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) on ABPR-SG column are 143 and 125 respectively. The chromatographic column packed with ABPR-SG can be reused. The method is simple and efficient.     

Synthesis of the pivalamidate-bridged pentanuclear platinum(II,III) linear complexes with Pt...Pt interactions

Pentanuclear linear chain Pt(II,III) complexes [[Pt2(NH3)2X2((CH3)3CCONH)2(CH2COCH3)]2[PtX'4]].nCH3COCH3 (X = X' = Cl, n = 2 (1a), X = Cl, X' = Br, n = 1 (1b), X = Br, X' = Cl, n = 2 (1c), X = X' = Br, n = 1 (1d)) composed of a monomeric Pt(II) complex sandwiched by two amidate-bridged Pt dimers were synthesized from the reaction of the acetonyl dinuclear Pt(III) complexes having equatorial halide ligands [Pt2(NH3)2X2((CH3)3CCONH)2(CH2COCH3)]X' ' (X = Cl (2a), Br (2b), X' ' = NO3-, CH3C6H4SO3-, BF4-, PF6-, ClO4-), with K2[PtX'4] (X' = Cl, Br). The X-ray structures of 1a-1d show that the complexes have metal-metal bonded linear Pt5 structures, and the oxidation state of the metals is approximately Pt(III)-Pt(III)...Pt(II)...Pt(III)-Pt(III). The Pt...Pt interactions between the dimer units and the monomer are due to the induced Pt(II)-Pt(IV) polarization of the Pt(III) dimeric unit caused by the electron withdrawal of the equatorial halide ligands. The density functional theory calculation clearly shows that the Pt...Pt interactions between the dimers and the monomer are made by the electron transfer from the monomer to the dimers. The pentanuclear complexes have flexible Pt backbones with the Pt chain adopting either arch or sigmoid structures depending on the crystal packing.     

Cyclometalated Pt(IV) trans-diiodo adducts: experimental and computational studies within an homologous series of compounds

Four cyclometalated Pt(IV) compounds, 1a,b and 2a,b, were successfully obtained by oxidative addition of I(2) to 2-phenylpyridinate (PhPy) and Nile Red (NR) derived Pt(II) complexes with acetylacetonate (acac) or hexafluoroacetylacetonate (hacac) ancillary ligands. Single crystal X-ray diffraction, electrochemical, photophysical and computational studies have been performed in comparison with the analogues Pt(II) compounds, shedding new light on the role of the oxidation state of the metal centre towards both the luminescence properties and the dioxygen quenching.     

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.).     

Dinuclear Pt(II)-bisphosphonate complexes: a scaffold for multinuclear or different oxidation state platinum drugs

Geminal bisphosphonates (BPs), used in the clinic for the treatment of hypercalcaemia and skeletal metastases, have been also exploited for promoting the specific accumulation of platinum antitumor drugs in bone tissue. In this work, the platinum dinuclear complex [{Pt(en)}(2)(μ-AHBP-H(2))](+) (1) (the carbon atom bridging the two phosphorous atoms carrying a 2-ammonioethyl and a hydroxyl group, AHBP-H(2)) has been used as scaffold for the synthesis of a Pt(II) trinuclear complex, [{Pt(en)}(3)(μ-AHBP)](+) (2), and a Pt(IV) adamantane-shaped dinuclear complex featuring an oxo-bridge, [{Pt(IV)(en)Cl}(2)(μ-O)(μ-AHBP-H(2))](+) (3) (X-ray structure). Compound 2 undergoes a reversible, pH dependent, rearrangement with a neat switch point around pH = 5.4. Compound 3 undergoes a one-step electrochemical reduction at E(pc) = -0.84 V affording compound 1. Such a potential is far lower than that of glutathione (-0.24 V), nevertheless compound 3 can undergo chemical reduction to 1 by GSH, most probably through a different (inner-sphere) mechanism. In vitro cytotoxicity of the new compounds, tested against murine glioma (C6) and human cervix (HeLa) and hepatoma (HepG2) cell lines, has shown that, while the Pt(IV) dimer 3 is inactive up to a concentration of 50 μM, the two Pt(II) polynuclear compounds 1 and 2 have a cytotoxicity comparable to that of cisplatin with the trinuclear complex 2 generally more active than the dinuclear complex 1.     

Complexes of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) with disubstituted purines

Mixed-ligand complexes of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) with 2,6-diaminopurine and 6-thioguanine were synthesized and characterised. The complexes were prepared in acidic and basic media. The binding of the ligands to the metal ion varies according to the pH of the medium. Thus, in the complexes of 6-thioguanine, the ligand acts as a monodentate ligand coordinating through the neutral C₆-SH group in the acidic medium and in the basic medium as a bidentate ligand binding to the metal ion through C₆S^? and N₇, forming a five-membered chelate ring. In an acidic medium 2,6-diaminopurine forms mononuclear complexes with Pt(II) and Pt(IV) binding through N₇. In a basic medium binuclear hydroxobridged complexes are formed with Pt(IV) and the ligand is monodentate, coordinating through N₇.     

Selective extraction of gold(III) in the presence of Pd(II) and Pt(IV) by salting-out of the mixture of 2-propanol and water

The mixture of 2-propanol with water has been employed to extract Au(III) along with other precious metals such as Pd(II) and Pt(IV) by using NaCl in the concentration range of 2.5-4.0 mol dm(-3). Upon the addition of NaCl within this concentration range (2.5-4.0 mol dm(-3)) phase separation was attained. Gold(III) in aqueous phase was quantitatively extracted into the 2-propanol phase at 2.5-4.0 mol dm(-3) of NaCl. The extraction of the other metals such as Pd(II) and Pt(IV) was much lower than for that of Au(III). Thus a maximal selective separation of Au(III) from these metals could be attained using the mixture of 2-propanol with water. A reaction mechanism involving the ion-pair of Na(+) and [AuCl(4)](-) has been proposed to explain this extraction.     

Reduction of (imine)Pt(IV) to (imine)Pt(II) complexes with carbonyl-stabilized phosphorus ylides

A novel method is reported for generation of the difficult-to-obtain (imine)Pt(II) compounds that involves reduction of the corresponding readily available Pt(IV)-based imines by carbonyl-stabilized phosphorus ylides, Ph3P=CHCO2R, in nonaqueous media. The reaction between neutral (imino)Pt(IV) compounds [PtCl4[NH=C(Me)ON=CR1R2]2] [R1R2 = Me2, (CH2)4, (CH2)5, (Me)C(Me)=NOH], [PtCl4[NH=C(Me)ONR2]2] (R = Me, Et, CH2Ph), (R1 = H; R2 = Ph or C6H4Me; R3 = Me) as well as anionic-type platinum(IV) complexes (Ph3PCH2Ph)[PtCl5[NH=C(Me)ON=CR2]] [R2 = Me2, (CH2)4, (CH2)5] and 1 equiv of Ph3P=CHCO2R (R = Me, Et) proceeds under mild conditions (ca. 4 h, room temperature) to give selectively the platinum(II) products (in good to excellent isolated yields) without further reduction of the platinum center. All thus prepared compounds (excluding previously described Delta4-1,2,4-oxadiazoline complexes) were characterized by elemental analyses, FAB mass spectrometry, IR and 1H, 13C[1H], 31P[1H] and 195Pt NMR spectroscopies, and X-ray single-crystal diffractometry, the latter for [PtCl2[NH=C(Me)ON=CMe2]2] [crystal system tetragonal, space group P4(2)/n (No. 86), a = b = 10.5050(10) A, c = 15.916(3) A] and (Ph3PCH2CO2Me)[PtCl3(NCMe)] [crystal system orthorhombic, space group Pna2(1) (No. 33), a = 19.661(7) A, b = 12.486(4) A, c = 10.149(3) A]. The reaction is also extended to a variety of other Pt(II)/Pt(IV) couples, and the ylides Ph3P=CHCO2R are introduced as mild and selective reducing agents of wide applicability for the conversion of Pt(IV) to Pt(II) species in nonaqueous media, a route that is especially useful in the case of compounds that cannot be prepared directly from Pt(II) precursors, and for the generation of systematic series of Pt(II)/Pt(IV) complexes for biological studies.     

Hydrosilylation of Siloxanes in the Presence of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) Complexes

The catalytic activities of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes with various ligands and counterions in hydrosilylation of 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxanes are compared.     

Analyzing Pt chemical shifts calculated from relativistic density functional theory using localized orbitals: the role of Pt 5d lone pairs

Pt chemical shifts were calculated from two-component relativistic density functional theory (DFT). The shielding tensors were analyzed by using a recently developed method to decompose the spin-orbit DFT results into contributions from spin-free localized orbitals (here: natural localized molecular orbitals (NLMOs) and natural bond orbitals (NBOs)). Seven chemical shifts in six Pt complexes with Pt oxidation states II, III, and IV; and halide, amino, and amidate ligands were analyzed, with particular focus on the role of nonbonding Pt 5d orbitals. A simple d-orbital 'rotation' model has been used to rationalize some of the observed trends such as the main difference between Pt(II) and Pt(IV) chemical shifts. The localized orbital analysis data showed that most of this difference as well as trends among different Pt complexes with similar coordination can be rationalized by comparing properties of the nonbonding Pt 5d orbitals. We have also analyzed the spin-orbit effects on the chemical shifts of [PtCl4](2-) compared to [PtBr4](2-).     

A robust method for speciation, separation and photometric characterization of all [PtCl(6-n)Br(n)]2- (n=0-6) and [PtCl(4-n)Br(n)]2- (n=0-4) complex anions by means of ion-pairing RP-HPLC coupled to ICP-MS/OES, validated by high resolution 195Pt NMR spectroscopy

A robust reversed phase ion-pairing RP-HPLC method has been developed for the unambiguous speciation and quantification of all possible homoleptic and heteroleptic octahedral platinum(IV) [PtCl(6-n)Br(n)](2-) (n=0-6) as well as the corresponding platinum(II) [PtCl(4-n)Br(n)](2-) (n=0-4) complex anions using UV/Vis detection. High resolution (195)Pt NMR in more concentrated solutions of these Pt(II/IV) complexes (≥50 mM) served to validate the chromatographic peak assignments, particularly in the case of the possible stereoisomers of Pt(II/IV) complex anions. By means of IP-RP-HPLC coupled to ICP-MS or ICP-OES it is possible to accurately determine the relative concentrations of all possible Pt(II/IV) species in these solutions, which allows for the accurate determination of the photometric characteristics (λ(max) and ?) of all the species in this series, by recording of the UV/Vis absorption spectra of all eluted species, using photo-diode array, and quantification with ICP-MS or ICP-OES. With this method it is readily possible to separate and estimate the concentrations of the various stereoisomers which are present in these solutions at sub-millimolar concentrations, such as cis- and trans-[PtCl(4)Br(2)](2-), fac- and mer-[PtCl(3)Br(3)](2-) and cis- and trans-[PtCl(2)Br(4)](2-) for Pt(IV), and cis- and trans-[PtCl(2)Br(2)](2-) in the case of Pt(II). All mixed halide Pt(II) and Pt(IV) species can be separated and quantified in a single IP-RP-HPLC experiment, using the newly obtained photometric molar absorptivities, ?, determined herein at given wavelengths.     

Control of selected physical properties of MX solids: an experimental and theoretical investigation

A series of eight materials of stoichiometry [Pt(L-L)₂X₂][Pt(L-L)₂]Y₄ (X is Cl, Br; L-L is 1,2-diaminoethane (en) or 1,2-diaminocyclohexane (chxn); Y is ClO⁻₄, X⁻) were synthesized. Crystal structures were determined for the compounds [Pt(chxn)₂Cl₂][Pt(chxn)₂](ClO₄)₄ 1, [Pt(chxn)₂Br₂][Pt(chxn)₂](ClO₄)₄2, and [Pt(chxn)₂Br₂][Pt(chxn)₂]Br₄ 4. All three of these compounds crystallize in the orthorhombic space group I222. Compound 1 has a = 5.711(1) Å, b = 7.804(1) Å, c = 24.101(7) Å, Z = 1, d_x = 2.033 g cm⁻³. Compound 2 has a = 5.781(1) Å, b = 7.720(1) Å, c = 24.036(5) Å, Z = 1, d_x = 2.174 g cm⁻³. Compound 4 has a = 5.379(1) Å, b = 7.028(1) Å, c = 23.884(4) Å, Z = 1, d_x = 2.440 g cm⁻³. These solids contain pseudo one-dimensional chains with a charge-density-wave (CDW) ground state structure: X-Pt(IV)-X···Pt(II)···X. Single crystal resonance Raman experiments were performed on all compounds to measure the symmetric X---Pt---X stretching frequency v₁ and the band edge. It is shown that the optical and electronic properties and, therefore, the CDW strength of these one-dimensional materials may be systematically varied over a wide range by employing different combinations of L-L and Y; templates composed of hydrogen bonded networks of L-L and Y were found to control the metal-metal separation, thereby controlling the X---Pt(IV)---X…Pt(II)…X chain geometry. Relationships between the CDW strength, measured as the ratio of the short M(IV)---X distance to the long M(II)---X distance, the band gap energy v₁ and the Pt---Pt separation are developed. The reaction coordinate is found to be dominated by changes in the M---M and Pt(II)---X separations over most of the range studied, with contributions from changes in the Pt^IV---X bonds becoming important only at the smallest M---M separations. Direct evidence demonstrating that MX systems are true Peierls distorted systems is also presented. These results are consistent with modeling based on Peierls-Hubbard hamiltonians. This work explains the unusual pressure and temperature dependences that have been observed for the structures and optical properties of this class of materials and also provides a wealth of information to benchmark many-body theoretical calculations modeling electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions in one-dimensional materials.
