Kj. Barnham et al., [PD(CBDCA-O,O')(NH3)(2)] - THE PD-II ANALOG OF A PLATINUM ANTICANCER DRUG (CBDCA=CYCLOBUTANE-1,1-DICARBOXYLATE), Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (1), 1994, pp. 65-66
The X-ray crystal structure of [Pd(CBDCA-O,O')(NH3)(2)] shows that it
is isostructural with the anticancer drug carboplatin 'Paraplatin'; th
e mechanism of formation of this complex from reaction of [Pd(NH3)(4)]
(2+) With H(2)CBDCA has been elucidated by NMR spectroscopy.
