“…Potassium dichromate, K 2 Cr 2 O 7 , and potassium chlorochromate, KCrO 3 Cl, can also oxidize cisplatin . On the basis of spectroscopic data, the products were proposed to be a dimetallic heteronuclear Pt–Cr complex and a trimetallic Pt–Cr 2 complex, respectively, with oxo ligands bridging the metal centers (Scheme ) . Similarly, cisplatin was oxidized by iron(III) complexes of the general formula cis -[Fe(bpy′) 2 (CN) 2 ](NO 3 ), where bpy′ is a derivative of 2,2′-bipyridine, to form trinuclear cyanide-bridged complexes (Scheme ). , The photochemistry of these complexes was explored, and in some cases the release of aquated cisplatin as a photoproduct occurred, , thus signifying the potential use of such complexes as photoactivated anticancer agents.…”
