Summary ExperimentalBis-(5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline)platinum(ll) dichloride and diperchlorate have been prepared. The reaction between the parent cation and hydroxide ion has been studied using t H n.m.r, spectroscopy and found to involve attack at the ligand. The bis-(2,2'-bipyridyl)platinum(ll) ion has been shown to be highly reactive towards methoxide ion. The dissociation of a 2,2'-bipyridyl ligand is preceded by attack at the ligand.
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.
