Chlorination platinum ammine complexes

The reaction of PtX and liquid ammonia gives mixtures of haloammine complexes [PtX (NH3)6 ]X4 n (X = Cl, Br, I n = 3, 2, 1, 0). The salts Pt(NH3)6]X, may be isolated as the main product only after several weeks of reaction. Interactions at room temperature of PtCl -and PtBr salts with liquid ammonia yield the dinuclear p-amido ammine complex [(NH3)4Pt(/i-NH2)2Pt(NH3)4]X6 quantitatively.1033 The structure shows a Pt-Pt separation of 3.16(1) A. 34 Interaction of PtXg with liquid or gaseous ammonia followed by addition of excess KNH2 yields the hexakis(amido) complex K2[Pt(NH2)6] (equation 333).1033 Complexes of the anionic ligand NC12 bonded to platinum(IV) have also been prepared. One method is by treatment of [PtCl(NH3)s]CI3 with chlorine (equation 334).1035... 

A study of the platinum-ammines shows that a large number of them can be arranged in two well-defined series. One series is derived from platinic chloride, PtCl and the other from platinous chloride, PtCl2. The co-ordination number of the former is six and the latter, four. Thus, with ammonia and chlorine as the acidic radicle in the complex,... 

Here, there is no evidence that masking interferes in any way with these reactions. When the complexes of palladium (II) were examined for a similar reactivity, no complexes containing coordinated chloramines could be isolated (43, 44)- The reaction of ammines of platinum (IV) with bromine can be used to introduce bromoamine in the coordination sphere, but the products are somewhat less stable than those obtained with chlorine. The general nature of the processes is similar. One example of a bromination reaction established by Kukushkin is ...
