Acetonyl C^N^N platinum(II) complexes of arylbipyridines

Abstract

This paper presents the first example of the formation of acetonyl tridentate CˆNˆN complexes of arylbipyridines in the reaction of chloroplatinum complexes with acetone in the presence of alkali. The chemical structure of obtained substances was established by means of ¹H,¹³C NMR, COSY, HSQC, and HMBC techniques. The attribution of all proton and carbon signals in NMR spectra was performed using 1D and 2D NMR experiments for the synthesized acetonyl cycloplatinated complexes. A comparative analysis of the values of the C-Pt spin-spin coupling constants of the same order was carried out, which showed a significant difference in bond lengths and valence angles inthe cyclic fragments of the arylbipyridine ligand.
