Abstract
The reaction of cis-[PtCl2(NCMe)(2)] with a 5-fold excess of Me2NH in CH2Cl 2 at -10 degreesC affords in high yield the bis-amidine complex cis-[PtCl2 {E-N(H)=C(NMe2)Me}(2)] (E,E-2), where both the amidine ligands assume the E configuration. E,E-2 was characterized by X-ray structure analysis, NMR sp ectroscopy and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The corr esponding reactions of trans-[PtCl2 (NCMe)(2)] with Me2NH gave the bis-amid ine complex trans-[PtCl2 {E-N(H)=C(NMe2)Me}(2)] (E,E-3) and the mono-amidin e derivative trans-[PtCl2{E-N(H)=C(NMe2)Me} (NCMe)] (E-4).
