“…Cisplatin ( cis ‐diammineplatinum(II) dichloride) was purchased from Sigma‐Aldrich, while Res was obtained from Abcam (Cambridge, UK). Pt(IV) complexes used in this study (tetrachlorido( O , O ′‐diethyl‐ethylenediamine‐ N , N ′‐di‐ S , S ‐(2,2′‐dibenzyl) acetate)‐platinum(IV), [PtCl 4 (det‐ S , S ‐eddba)] ( C1 ), tetrachlorido( O , O ′‐dipropyl‐ethylenediamine‐N,N′‐di‐ S , S ‐(2,2′‐dibenzyl) acetate)‐platinum(IV), [PtCl 4 (dpr‐ S , S ‐eddba)] ( C2 ), tetrachlorido( O , O ′‐dibutyl‐ethylenediamine‐N,N′‐di‐ S , S ‐(2,2′‐dibenzyl) acetate)‐platinum(IV), [PtCl 4 (dbu‐ S , S ‐eddba)] ( C3 )), were prepared according to the previously described procedure by Dimitrijević et al (2013) (Scheme 1), where synthesis and characterization (elemental analyses, mass spectra, IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectroscopy) of the used Pt(IV) complexes were reported.…”
