A new donor-acceptor system, in which the electron donor triphenylamine (TPA) and the electron acceptor C60 are bridged through a cis- or trans-platinum(II) acetylide spacer have been prepared. Ground-state studies were conducted using electrochemistry and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Fluorescence studies suggested that charge transfer is the deactivation mechanism for the singlet excited state, and th...

Three (15)N-labelled trans-Pt(ii) amine complexes with isopropylamine ((15)N-ipa), methylamine ((15)N-ma) and dimethylamine ((15)N-dma) have been prepared and characterized. 2D [(1)H,(15)N] HSQC NMR spectroscopy was used to obtain the rate and equilibrium constants for the aquation of trans-[PtCl(2)((15)N-ipa)((15)N-ma)] ((15)N-1), trans-[PtCl(2)((15)N-dma)((15)N-ma)] ((15)N-2) and trans-[PtCl(...

This paper covers Pt(II) complexes of the compositions Pt(η3-P1C1C2)(Y) (Y = NL or I) and Pt(η3-P1C1N1)(Y), Y OL, NL, CL, Cl Br). These crystallized in four crystal classes: monoclinic (9 examples), triclinic (3 orthorhombic tetragonal (2 examples). The structural parameters (Pt-L, L-Pt-L) are analyzed discussed with attention to distortion square-planar geometry about atoms trans-influence. da...

The antitumor and cellular pharmacological properties of the trans-Pt(IV) complex, trans-[PtCl(2)(OH)(2)(dimethylamine)(isopropylamine)] (compound 2) has been evaluated in comparison with its corresponding trans-Pt(II) counterpart, trans-[PtCl(2)(dimethylamine)(isopropylamine)] (compound 1). The results reported here indicate that compound 2 markedly circumvents cisplatin resistance in 41McisR ...

Various Pt(IV) diazides have been investigated over the years as light-activatable prodrugs that interfere with cell proliferation, accumulate in cancer cells and cause cell death. The potencies of the complexes vary depending on the substituted amines (pyridine=piperidine>ammine) as well as the coordination geometry (trans diazide>cis). Light-activated Pt(IV) diazides tend to be less specific ...

Reaction of [Pt(L)(μ-Cl)](2) (L = ppy (2-phenylpyridine) or bzq (benzo[h]quinoline)) with 2-mercaptobenzoxazole (NOSH) and NaOAc in THF at r.t. yields the dinuclear Pt(II) d(8)-d(8) complexes [Pt(2)L(2)(μ-NOS-κN,S)(2)] (L = ppy, 1; L = bzq, 2) and the Pt(III) d(7)-d(7) complexes [Pt(2)(ppy)(2)(μ-NOS-κN,S)(2)(NOS-κS)(2)] (L = ppy, 3; L = bzq, 4) in one pot. The C,N-cyclometalated ligand is chela...

Coordinatively and electronically unsaturated species are shortlived intermediates in a large number of reactions involving late transition metal complexes.1 These species containing an “opensite” in the metal coordination sphere are notoriously difficult to characterize, owing to their inherent reactivity.2 In particular, fivecoordinate Pt(IV) alkyl species have been consistently proposed as k...

The structure of the title compound, which represents a mixed-valence platinum(II,IV) complex, {[Pt(II)Pt(IV)I2(C2H8N2)4][CH3(CH2)7SO3]4·2H2O} n , has been redetermined in a different space group. In contrast to the previously reported determination in the space group P21 cn [Matsushita & Taira (1999 ▸). Synth. Met. 102, 1787-1788], the current model was refined in the centrosymmetric space gro...

The in vitro biotransformation of tetrachloro(d,l-trans)-1,2,-diaminocyclohexaneplantinum(IV) (tetraplatin) in the plasma of Fischer 344 rats were studied by the two-column high-performance liquid chromatography technique described previously (Mauldin et al., Cancer Res., 48: 5136-5144, 1988). The reduction of tetraplatin to dichloro(d,l-trans)-1,2-diaminocyclohexaneplatinum(II) [PtCl2(dach)] w...

The reaction between [Pt(nbe)3] (nbe=norbornene), two equivalents of the phosphines PPh3, PMePh2 or PMe2Ph and 1 equivalent of BCl3 affords the platinum dichloroboryl species [PtCl(BCl2)(PPh3)2], [PtCl(BCl2)(PMePh2)2] and [PtCl(BCl2)(PMe2Ph)2]. All three complexes were characterised by X-ray crystallography and reveal that the boryl group lies trans to the chloride. With PMe3 as the phosphine, ...
