G. Annibale et al., NEW ROUTES FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF CHLORO(DIETHYLENETRIAMINE)PLATINUM(II)CHLORIDE AND CHLORO(2,2' 6',2''-TERPYRIDINE)PLATINUM(II) CHLORIDE DIHYDRATE/, Polyhedron, 14(3), 1995, pp. 451-453
[Pt(dien)Cl]Cl (dien = diethylenetriamine) has been obtained in high y
ield (> 90%) by interaction of cis-[Pt(dmso)(2)Cl-2] (dmso = dimethyls
ulfoxide) with the triamine in methanol. The same method, when applied
to 2,2': 6',2 ''-terpyridine (terpy), gave a mixture of [Pt(terpy)Cl]
[Pt(dmso)Cl-3] and [Pt(terpy)Cl]Cl . 2H(2)O. The latter complex has b
een obtained in nearly quantitative yield by interaction of equimolar
amounts of[Pt(COD)Cl-2] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) and terpy in water.
