Intramolecular Influence of a Carboxylic Function on Platinium Blue Synthesis. A systematic Study of Complexes Originating from Acid Amides

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ja00329a028

The use of acid amide as ligand for obtaining platinium blue has been investigated.While blue compounds are generally obtained by using the hydrolysis product of cis-dichlorodiammineplatinum(II) as platinum surce, with such ligands the reaction occurs very readily using potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II).The role of the carboxylic function which offers here a primary ligating site to platinum is evidenced.The compounds obtained have been characterized by UV-visible spectral measurments, Ce(IV) oxydative titration , ESR spectroscopy, and magnetic properties.Antitumoral activity toward leukemia L1210 and sarcoma 180 is reported for two of thesecompounds.As a first step for this antitumor study, these compounds have been found to be inactive toward Leukemia while they presnt intersting activity toward Sarcoma.
