The diorganoplatinum(II) complexes PtR2{(py)3COH} (R = Me, Ph; (py)3COH = tris(pyridin-2-yl)methanol) react with water in organic solvents to form diorgano(hydroxo)platinum(IV) cations [Pt(OH)R2{(py)3COH}]+, and the cation with R = Ph reacts with dilute nitric acid to form [PtPh2{(py)3COH}(OH2)]2+. The cation in [PtPh2{(py)3COH}(OH2)] [NO3]2·H2O has octahedral geometry with a Pt-O bond distance of 2.04(1) A. The higher trans influence of phenyl than aqua ligands is reflected in the Pt-N bond distances: 2.14(2) and 2.17(1) A trans to the phenyl groups, and 1.99(2) A trans to the aqua ligand.
