Platinum-phosphorus heteronuclear multiple-quaatum coherence spectroscopy has been employed for the characterization of platinum-phosphine cluster compounds. Rules are developed for the interpretation of these spectra, whose appearance depends on the chosen pulse-sequence, phase-cycling and whether direct or remote platinum-phosphorus coupling coostants have been selected. Spectral editing according to the different isotopomers (with respect to ISsPt) is possible when complete evolution of multiple-quantum coherence is allowed. This method offers a substantial advantage in the characterization of larger cluster compounds.
