The trans [PtCl 4 (EtCN) 2 ] complex is involved in coupling reactions (CH 2 Cl 2 , 30-35 °C, 10-15 min) with 2 amino derivatives of heterocyclic compounds (2 NH 2 Het, where Het is pyridyl, 4 methylpyridyl, 5 methylpyridyl, 6 methylpyridyl, or thiazolyl) to form the trans [PtCl 4 {N(H)=C(Et)NHHet} 2 ] complexes (1-5) with κ 1 (N ) coordinated hetarylamidine ligands. The reaction with the use of 2 aminopyrimidine (2 NH 2 Pym) produces the [PtCl 4 (2 NH 2 Pym) 2 ] complex (6) as a result of complete replacement of the nitrile ligands in the [PtCl 4 (EtCN) 2 ] complex. The compositions and structures of compounds 1-6 were con firmed by elemental analysis (C, H, N), IR spectroscopy, 1 H, 13 C{ 1 H}, and 195 Pt{ 1 H} NMR spectroscopy, and FAB mass spectrometry. Complex 1 was additionally characterized by X ray diffraction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
