Reactions of platinum nitrile complexes with cyclotriphosphazenes containing pyridylalkylamino groups

Reactions of platinum(II) and platinum(IV) nitrile complexes with polydentate ligands, such as pentaphenoxy(2-pyridylmethylamino)cyclotriphosphazene, pentaphenoxy(3-pyridylmethylamino)cyclotriphosphazene, and pentaphenoxy(2-pyridylethylamino)cyclotriphosphazene, were studied. Platinum(IV) is reduced to platinum(II) upon complex formation; the pyridine and alkylamine nitrogen atoms coordinate to platinum(II) to form chelate rings. The compounds obtained were characterized by ¹H and ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy, FAB mass spectrometry, and other methods.
