The interaction of PtCl42- with the new azaparacyclophane 2,5,8,11-tet
raaza[12]paracyclophane (L2) has been studied by H-1, C-13 and Pt-195
NMR spectroscopy. Three different complexes are detected as a function
of pH, all of them presenting cis-arrangement of nitrogen donors and
chloride anions. In the first one, formed at acidic pH, the central ni
trogen atoms of the macrocyclic are coordinating to Pt(II) while the b
enzylic nitrogens remain protonated. Deprotonation of these nitrogens
brings about a reorganisation of the complex, and the platinum is then
coordinated by one benzylic nitrogen and the consecutive nitrogen in
the macrocycle. This process can be monitored by NMR. Finally, additio
n of a second mol of PtCl42- for each mole of L2 causes, most likely,
the formation of a binuclear complex in which the tetraamine chain beh
aves as two ethylenediamine subunits. The crystal structure of the add
uct [PtBr4](2)[H(4)L1] has been solved by X-ray diffraction analysis (

, R-1 = 0.0528, wR(2) = 0.1612). The compound is held together mainly
through coulombic interactions between the charged polyammonium groups
of the macrocycle and the PtBr42- anions as well as through an extens
ive hydrogen bond network in which participate the bromides of the two
PtBr42- anions and a lattice water molecule. (C) 1997 Elsevier Scienc
