On Mixed-Valence Dinuclear PtII,PtIII Nucleobase Complexes Derived from cis-Diamineplatinum(II): Effect of steric bulk of amine ligands on the Pt-oxidation state

A series of closely related dinuclear (head-head) Pt^II complexes of general composition cis-[a₂PtL₂Pta′₂]²⁺ with a,a′ = NH₃ or CH₃NH₂ and L = 1-methyluracilate-N3,O4 (1-MeU) or 1-methylthyminate-N3,O4 (1-MeT) has been prepared and the solution behavior toward Ce^IV oxidation studied. The X-ray crystal structure of a representative example cis-[(CH₃NH₂)₂Pt(1-MeU)₂Pt(CH₃NH₂)₂](ClO₄)₂ · 0.5 H₂O ( 1b ), has been determined: Monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, a = 11.907(7) Å, b = 19.087(14) Å, c = 12.525(7) Å, β = 90.49(4)°, Z = 4. Oxidation of these diplatinum(II) complexes ([Pt^2.0]₂) with Ce^IV in aqueous solution to the corresponding diplatinum(III) species ([Pt^3.0]₂) proceeds via tetranuclear [Pt^2.25]₄ or dinuclear [Pt^2.5]₂ mixed-valence state compounds, depending on the nature of the a′ ligands: with a′ = NH₃, blue green [Pt^2.25]₄ forms, whereas with a′ = CH₃NH₂, purple [Pt^2.5]₂ represents the intermediate. This difference is interpreted in terms of differences in bulk between NH₃ and CH₃NH₂ ligands trans to the O(4) positions of the bridging nucleobases which influence the ability of dinuclear species to associate via the O(4)₂ Pt a₂′ faces.     

Stereoisomeric Pt(IV) complexes with threonine

Stereoisomeric Pt(IV) complexes with threonine (ThrH = HOCH(CH₃)CH(NH₂)COOH, ??-amino-??-hydroxybutyric acid) were obtained. In the complexes trans-[Pt(S-ThrH)₂Cl₄] and trans-[Pt(R-ThrH)(S-ThrH)Cl₄], the ThrH molecules act as monodentate ligands coordinated through the NH₂ group. In the complexes cis- and trans-[Pt(S-Thr)₂Cl₂] and trans-[Pt(R-Thr)(S-Thr)Cl₂], the deprotonated ligands are coordinated in a bidentate fashion through the NH₂ and COO^?-groups (R,S is the absolute configuration of the asymmetric carbon atom). All the complexes were identified using elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, and ¹⁹⁵Pt, ¹³C, and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The complexes trans-[Pt(S-ThrH)₂Cl₄] · 3H₂O and cis-[Pt(S-Thr)₂Cl₂] · 2H₂O were additionally characterized by X-ray diffraction.     

Reactions of cisplatin hydrolytes, cis-[Pt(15NH3)2(H2O) 2]2+, with N-acetyl-L-cysteine

The reaction of cis-[Pt(¹⁵NH₃)2(H₂O) ₂] ²⁺ (3) with N-acetylcysteine [H₃accys] was investigated in aqueous solution. In this reaction, the ammine in the platinum complex formed was liberated. A mono-dentate sulfur-boundplatinum(II) product cis-[Pt(¹⁵NH₃)₂(H₂O)(H2accys-S)]⁺ (7) and six-membered che-late ring complex cis-[Pt(¹⁵NH₃)₂ (Haccys-S,O)] (8) were formed in solution. The dinuclear sulfur-bridged complex 9, giving a broad peak in ¹⁵N NMR, was also observed, but only present in very tiny amounts. The mass spectrometry (ES-MS) was undertaken from this re action, and the product detected was only the dinuclear sulfur bridged platinum species and species related to it by ammine loss.     

Double complex salts [Pt(NH3)5Cl][M(C2O4)3] · n H2O (M = Fe, Co, Cr): Synthesis and study

Double complexes [Pt(NH₃)₅Cl][Fe(C₂O₄)₃] · 4H₂O, [Pt(NH₃)₅Cl][Co(C₂O₄)₃] · 2H₂O, and [Pt(NH₃)₅Cl][Cr(C₂O₄)₃] · 4H₂O were synthesized and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, X-ray phase analysis, differential thermal analysis, elemental analysis, and IR spectroscopy. The crystal structures of the compounds were examined from the viewpoint of the close packing of coordination polyhedra. The thermal properties of the synthesized complexes and K₃[M(C₂O₄)₃] salts (M = Fe, Co, Cr) were compared. A procedure for the synthesis of the FePt, CoPt, and CrPt intermetallic compounds through the thermolysis of the obtained complexes was developed. Original Russian Text ? K.V. Yusenko, D.B.

IR spectra and thermal decomposition/dehydration of double complex salts of lanthanum(III) sulphate complex anions with several cobalt(III) ammine complex cations

Double complex salts of lanthanum(III) sulphate complex anions with several cobalt(III) ammine complex cations, [Co(NH₃)₆][La(SO₄)₃]·H₂O (1), (NH₄)₃[Co(NH₃)₅ H₂O]-[La(SO₄)₃]₂·2H₂O (2), and (NH₄)₃[Co(NH₃)₄(H₂O)₂][La(SO₄)₃]₂·2H₂O (3), were prepared by the addition of hexaamminecobalt(III), pentaammineaquacobalt(III), and cis- tetra-amminediaquacobalt(III) complexes to the solution containing lanthanum(III) ion and excess ammonium sulphate. The IR spectra of sulphate groups of these double complex salts were much more complicated than those of the almost free sulphate groups such as (NH₄)₂SO₄ and [Co(NH₃)₆]₂(SO₄)₃·5H₂O. Furthermore, values of activation energy in the dehydration process of 1, 2 and 3 were estimated using modified Doyle's and Wiedemann's method. They were 95.6 ± 4.3, 157.1 ± 15.5 and 163.2 ± 20.8 kJ mol^?1, respectively. Here, one molecule water is released per molecule of 1, 2 and 3.     

Acyl-platinum(II) and -palladium(II) complexes derived from 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde derivatives. X-ray structure of [Pt(OC6H4CO) (P(p-CH3C6H4)3)2]

Platinum(II) and palladium(II) complexes containing chelating acyl ligands have been synthesized from salicylaldehyde, 2-hydroxynaphthaldehyde and 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde. The platinum(II) complexes [Pt(acyl)L₂], acyl  OC₆H₄CO, OC₁₀H₆CO, O(m-CH₃OC₆H₃CO), L  tertiary phosphine, 1/2 diphenylphosphinoethane, can be isolated with both monodentate and chelating diphosphines, whereas for palladium only the compounds with chelating phosphines are readily obtainable. The reactions of [Pt(OC₆H₄CO)L₂] with HCl afford trans-[PtCl(OHC₆H₄CO)L₂], L  monodentate tertiary phosphine and cis-[PtCl(OHC₆H₄CO)L₂], L2  1,2-bis-diphenylphosphinoethane, in which the metal—carbon bond remains intact. The structure of [Pt(OC₆H₄CO)-(P(p-CH₃C₆H₄)₃)₂] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods and found to have the expected square planar structure. Some relevant bond lengths and angles are: PtP; 2.271(4) and 2.348(5) Å; PtC; 1.96(2) Å and PtO; 2.07(1) Å; PPtP  101°, CPtO  82°.     

Synthesis,characterization and antimicrobial studies on cis-platinum(II) complexes of 5-nitrosouracil derivatives

Two complexes were obtained during the reactions of 6-amino-1-methyl-5-nitrosouracil (AMNU) and 6-methylamino-1-benzyl-5-nitrosouracil (MABNU) with cis-diaquadiamineplatinum(II) nitrate complex, cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂. The complexes were isolated in good yields as powdery precipitates. They were characterized through their elemental analysis, infrared, UV–vis, and ¹H NMR spectroscopies as well as thermal analyses. The obtained results indicated that, pyrimidine bases substitute easily aqua ligands and interact with Pt(II) ions as a monodentate ligand in the neutral and ionic form for the ligands AMNU and MABNU, respectively. The exocyclic oxygen atoms are the most probable binding site. Square planar structures, cis-form, were proposed in both cases. The free ligands, and their Pt(II) complexes were screened for their antimicrobial activities.     

Clathrate compounds of tetracyano complexes of nickel and platinum with phenol

The double cyanides of nickel and platinum form structures capable of enclosing also phenol, for example, as guest molecule. Such clathrates are Ni(NH₃)₂Pt(CN)₄ 2 C₆H₅OH and Ni(en)₂Pt(CN)₄ · 0.14 C₆H₅OH. In the case of the tetracyano complexes, different thermal stabilities of their clathrate compounds could be achieved by alteration of the constituents of the cage structure and also of the guest molecules. According to the thermal behaviour, the clathrates may be divided into two groups: those which release the guest molecules in the first step of thermal decomposition (Ni(NH₃)₂Pt(CN)₄· 2 C₆H₅OH), and those which lose the guest component only after partial destruction of the host cage (Ni(en)₂Pt(CN)₄ · 0.14 C₆H₅OH). The temperature ranges of loss of the guest component may determine the interval for their use in sorptive experiments. The temperature range for release of phenol from Ni(NH₃)₂Pt(CN)₄ · · 2 C₆H₅OH is 55–244°, and from Ni(en)₂Pt(CN)₄ · 0.14 C₆H₅OH is 139–284°. The model host molecules NiPt(CN)₄ · 6 H₂O and Ni(en)₃Pt(CN)₄ · 3 H₂O were also studied by thermal analysis.     

Mixed and partial oxidation states. Photoelectron spectroscopic evidence

X-ray photoelectron spectra of the single valence platinum complexes K₂[Pt(CN)₄] · 3H₂O(1),K₂[Pt(CN)₄]Cl_0.3 · n H₂O(2) and K₂[Pt(CN)₄]Cl₂ · 3H₂O(3) and the mixed valence compound [Pt^II(C₂H₅NH₂)₄]Cl₄ · [Pt^IV (C₂H₅NH₂)₄Cl₂] · 4H₂O(4) have been measured. It is found that one can distinguish clearly between mixed and single valence compounds by electron spectroscopy. The Pt spectrum of (4) is a superposition of a Pt^II and Pt_IV spectrum. The chemical shift between (1) and (3) is normal, however (2) shows an anomalous low binding energy for the Pt 4f electrons. The importance of using reliable reference peaks for obtaining absolute binding energies is emphasized.     

Cucurbit[8]uril-based inclusion compounds containing iron(II), cobalt(III), and nickel(II) complexes with cyclam and cyclen as guest molecules: Synthesis and crystal structures

New inclusion compounds containing iron(II), cobalt(III), and nickel(II) complexes with the cyclic polyamine ligands cyclam and cyclen in the macrocyclic cavitand cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) were obtained: {trans-[Fe(Cyclam)(CO)(OCHO)]@CB[8]}Cl · 15H₂O, {cis-[Co(Cyclen)(H₂O)Cl]@CB[8]}Cl₂ · 20H₂O, and {cis-[Ni(Cyclen)(H₂O)Cl]@CB[8]}Cl · 12H₂O. According to X-ray diffraction data, the complexes are in the cavity of each CB[8] molecule. The complexes of the above molecular formulas were isolated in the solid state as supramolecular compounds with CB[8] and structurally characterized for the first time.     

Immobilization of Platinum(II) and Platinum(IV) Complexes on Oxidized Nanoporous Carbon Material and Evaluation of the Enthalpy of Adsorption

Physicochemical study of cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂(OH)₂] is carried out, and immobilization of platinum complexes on the nanoporous carbon substrate is investigated. The solubility of cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] in 1 M HCl solution is determined, and the average enthalpy of dissolution is calculated: Δ_solH° = 27.3 ± 0.9 kJ/mol. The batch capacity is determined experimentally for cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] and cis- [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂(OH)₂] to be 32.9 mg/g (0.17 mg-equiv/g) and 47.6 mg/g (0.24 mg-equiv/g), respectively. Immobilization of platinum complexes on the oxidized carbon surface is found to take place due to interaction between carboxy groups and ammine groups of platinum complexes. The resulting heat capacity curves are used to calculate the enthalpies of adsorption for cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂(OH)₂] on the oxidized carbon surface, equal to 24.46 and 27.46 kJ/mol, respectively.     

Hydration reaction of Hofmann's benzene clathrate,diamminenickel(II) tetracyanonickelate(II)-benzene-(1/2), suspended in aqueous media

Hofmann's benzene clathrate Ni(NH₃)₂Ni(CN)₄·2C₆H₆ suspended in ammoniacal, neutral, and acidic aqueous media undergoes the replacement reactions of the guest C₆H₆ and the ligating NH₃ molecules with molecules of water to give Ni(NH₃)₂Ni(CN)₄·?1H₂O, Ni(H₂O)₂Ni(CN)₄·nH₂O(0<n<2), and Ni(H₂O)₂Ni(CN)₄·4～5H₂O, respectively. The integrity of the host metal complex sheet structure is conserved with little change during the replacement reactions.     

Polarized crystal spectra of the mixed metal salt [(CH3)3NH]MnxCu1−xCl3·2H2O

The electronic absorption spectra in two polarizations are reported for crystals of the dichroic salt, TMAMn_xCu_1?xCl₃·2H₂O where TMA represents the trimethylammonium cation, (CH₃)₃NH⁺. Although TMACuCl₃·2H₂O is monoclinic, the mixed metal salts in which x ≥ 0.20 adopt the orthorhombic structure of TMAMnCl₃·2H₂O. The bands observed in the near ir region are adequately explained as d-d transitions of the Cu(II) ion in D_2h symmetry. Other polarized bands which occur in the visible region and are neither Mn(II) nor Cu(II) d-d transitions are discussed.     

HPLC Method for the Determination of the Purity of K[Pt(NH3)Cl3], a Precursor of the Platinum Complexes with Cytostatic Activity

K[Pt(NH₃)Cl₃], a valuable precursor for the preparation of platinum complexes with cytostatic activity, e.g. satraplatin, picoplatin, LA-12 and cycloplatam, is currently prepared from cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] or K₂[PtCl₄] and these are the usual impurities in the final product. A simple, selective and sensitive HPLC-UV analytical method for the determination of the purity of K[Pt(NH₃)Cl₃] and the quantification of the impurities has been developed and validated. The platinum complexes present in the final product were separated on a strong base ion exchange column by the gradient elution with detection at 213 nm. Intra-assay precisions for the platinum complexes respective to their ions ([PtCl₄]^2?, [Pt(NH₃)Cl₃]^? and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂]) were between 0.1 and 2.0% (relative standard deviation); intermediate precisions were between 1.4 and 2.0% and accuracies were between 98.6 and 101.4%. Limits of detection of [PtCl₄]^2?, [Pt(NH₃)Cl₃]^? and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] were 6 µg · ml^?1, 13 mg · ml^?1 and 5 µg · ml^?1 respectively, limits of quantification of [PtCl₄]^2?, [Pt(NH₃)Cl₃]^? and cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂] were 51 µg · ml^?1, 55 mg · ml^?1 and 20 µg · ml^?1 respectively.     

Crystal structure of di-μ-amido-bis[diammineplatinum(II)] nitrate

Di-μ-amido-bis[diammineplatinum(II)] nitrate (1) was synthesized as a byproduct during preparation of tetraammineplatinum(II) nitrate. One possible pathway to produce 1 is that [(H₃N)₂Pt(μ- OH)₂Pt(NH₃)₂](NO₃)₂, a well-known complex forming on treatment of cis-Pt(NH₃)₂I₂ with AgNO₃, reacts with aqueous ammonia. The other possible pathway involves deprotonation of [Pt(NH₃)₄](NO₃)₂ to form monomeric Pt(NH₃)₃(NH₂)NO₃ followed by elimination of NH3. Crystals of 1 (from water) are monoclinic (C2/c) with a = 16.834(2) Å, b = 10.573(1) Å, c = 7.415(1) Å, β = 114.846(1)°, and Z = 4. The cationic portion consists of two symmetrical square-planar Pt centers with the inversion center at the midpoint of the Pt(1)???Pt(1A) vector. The Pt(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two ammonia molecules and two bridging amido groups affording a slightly distorted square. The molecules are stacked in such a way that the planes of coordination squares turn out to be parallel to each other with a distance of 3.501 Å. Intermolecular Pt–H interaction between the μ-NH₂ hydrogens and the platinum(II) centers of the adjacent molecule are observed.     

Insertion of SnCl2 into Pt–Cl bonds: synthesis and characterization of four- and five-coordinate trichlorostannylplatinum(II) complexes

Reaction of platinum(IV) chloride with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of [NHR₃]₃Cl (R?=?Me, Et) in 3M hydrochloric acid affords the anionic five-coordinate platinum(II) complexes [NHR₃]₃[Pt(SnCl₃)₅], R?=?Me (1), Et (2), respectively. Moreover, platinum(IV) chloride reacts with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene)ammonium chloride in acetone/dichloromethane to form [N(PPh₃)₂]₃[Pt(SnCl₃)₅] (3). In contrast, reaction of an acetone solution of platinum(IV) chloride with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of bis(triphenylphosphoranylidene) ammonium chloride resulted in the formation of cis-[N(PPh₃)₂]₂[PtCl₂(SnCl₃)₂] (4). The same products are obtained by using a platinum(II) salt as starting material. Similarly, cis and trans- dichlorobis(diethyl sulfide)platinum(II) reacts with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in 5M hydrochloric acid to give [PtCl(SEt₂)₃]₃[Pt(SnCl₃)₅] (5) by facile insertion of SnCl₂ into the Pt–Cl bond. However, treatment of an acetone solution of cis- and trans-[PtCl₂(SEt₂)₂] with SnCl₂?·?2H₂O in the presence of a small amount of HCl resulted in the formation of 5, which dissociates in solution to give [PtCl₂(SEt₂)₂]. The complexes have been fully characterized by elemental analysis and multinuclear NMR (¹H,?¹³C,?¹⁹⁵Pt,?¹¹⁹Sn) spectroscopy. A structure determination of crystals grown from a solution of 2 by X-ray diffraction methods shows that platinum adopts a regular trigonal bipyramidal geometry.

Reactions of the PtH and/or PtC bonds of the hydridocyanoalkyl complexes cis- or trans-PtH[(CH₂)_nCN]L₂ (n = 1, 3; L₂ = 2 PPh₃, Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂) are described, viz. reductive elimination induced by CO, PhCCPh, PEt₃, PPhMe₂, cis-Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂ to give Pt(CO)₂L₂, PtL₂(PhCCPh), PtL₂, PtL(PPhMe₂)₃, PtL₂(Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂) (L = PPh₃), respectively, and cleavages by acids, halogens and alkyl halides.The monomeric hydroxo complexes cis-Pt(OH)[(CH₂)_nCN]L₂ were shown to be intermediates in the synthesis of PtH[(CH₂)_nCN]L₂ from cationic cyanoalkyl complexes in alcoholic NaOH. Their characterisation and the reactions of the PtOH bond with activated methyl groups are reported.     

Platinum(II) Mono-N1-(2"-Tetrahydrofuranyl)-5-Fluorouracilate Complexes with Ammonia

The reaction between cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂], N¹-(2"-tetrahydrofuranyl)-5-fluorouracil (HL), and NaOH (taken in a molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 1) or between cis-[Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂], HL, and Ag₂O (taken in the molar ratio of 1 : 1 : 0.5) was used to synthesize complexes Ia (in the case of NaOH) or Ib (in the case of Ag₂O) with composition Pt(NH₃)₂LCl. The model complex [Pt(NH₃)₃L]NO₃ (II) was synthesized by the reaction between [Pt(NH₃)₃Cl]Cl, HL, AgNO₃, and Ag₂O (1 : 1 : 1 : 0.5). The obtained compounds were characterized by chemical analysis, chromatography, thermogravimetry, conductometry, potentiometry, IR, electronic, and NMR spectroscopies. Complexes Ia and Ib were found to have both similar and different properties. The structures of the compounds and the type of L^– coordination to platinum(II) were suggested. Cytotoxic properties of Iaand Ib were studied.     

X-ray structure and multinuclear NMR studies of platinum(II) complexes with 5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one

New dichloride platinum(II) complexes with 5-methyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-7(4H)-one (HmtpO) have been synthesized and characterized by thermal analysis, infrared and ¹H, ¹³C, ¹⁵N, ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR spectroscopy. X-ray crystal structures of cis-PtCl₂(NH₃)(HmtpO) (1) and cis-PtCl₂(HmtpO)₂ · 4H₂O (2b) were determined to R = 0.0332 and R = 0.0802, respectively. In both complexes the Pt(II) ions have a square-planar geometry with two adjacent corners being occupied by two nitrogens of HmtpO molecules for 2b or NH₃ and HmtpO molecules for 1, whereas the remaining adjacent corners are occupied by two chloride anions. Spectroscopic data confirm the square planar geometry with N(3) bonded HmtpO, S-bonded dimethylsulfoxide and two trans chloride anions for trans-PtCl₂(dmso) · 4H₂O (3).     

A new [(1R,2R)‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane]platinum(II) complex: formation by nitrate–acetonitrile ligand exchange

The title compound, cis‐diacetonitrile[(1R,2R)‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane‐κ²N,N′]platinum(II) dinitrate monohydrate, [Pt(C₂H₃N)₂(C₆H₁₄N₂)](NO₃)₂·H₂O, is a molecular salt of the diaminocyclohexane–Pt complex cation. There are two formula units in the asymmetric unit. Apart from the two charge‐balancing nitrate anions, one neutral molecule of water is present. The components interact via N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in supramolecular chains. The title compound crystallizes only from acetonitrile with residual water, with the acetonitrile coordinating to the molecule of cis‐[Pt(NO₃)₂(DACH)] (DACH is 1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) and the water forming a monohydrate.
