Cisplatin mainchain structures

The square-planar cisplatin-type structural complexes can be transformed into a polymer constituent in a variety of ways. In the simplest and most straightforward case, it can function as a main chain component, for example, through metal interconnection by a diamine moiety as described in Section Vtll. In a related mode, the metal, incorporated through Pt-N bonds that are not part of the mainchain constituent. Platinum is coordinated by one or two nucleophilic nitrogen donors, generally amino groups, preintroduced into presynthesized carrier polymers. This type of Pt-N anchoring mode is the topic of the present section.
