Abstract:
The platinum(II) complexes trans-[PtCl(2)(RR'C=NOH)(2)], where R = R' = Me, RR' = (CH(2))(4) and (CH(2))(5), react with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in Me(2)CO to give the platinum(IV) complexes [PtCl(2)(OCMe(2)ON=CRR')(2)] in 50-60% yields. The complexes [PtCl(2)(OCMe(2)ON=CRR')(2)] were characterized by elemental analysis, EI-MS, and IR and Raman spectroscopies; X-ray structure analyses were performed for both trans-[PtCl(2)(OCMe(2)ON=CC(4)H(8))(2)] and trans-[PtCl(2)(OCMe(2)ON=CC(5)H(10))(2)]. The former compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P&onemacr; with a = 8.088(2) Å, b = 8.327(2) Å, c = 8.475(2) Å, alpha = 103.54(3) degrees, beta = 102.15(3) degrees, gamma = 108.37(3) degrees, V = 501.0(2) Å(3), Z = 1, and rho(calcd) = 1.917 g cm(-)(3). The latter complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with a = 12.5260(10) Å, b = 9.3360(10) Å, c = 18.699(2) Å, beta = 98.320(10) degrees, V = 2163.7(4) Å(3), Z = 4, and rho(calcd) = 1.862 g cm(-)(3). The structures of [PtCl(2)(OCMe(2)ON=CC(4)H(8))(2)] and [PtCl(2)(OCMe(2)ON=CC(5)H(10))(2)] show an octahedron of Pt where two Cl atoms and two chelate ligands are mutually trans, respectively.
