Abstract

Reaction of cis-[PtCl 2(PPh 3) 2] with excess 3,3-dimethylglutarimide (dmgH) and sodium chloride in refluxing methanol gives the mono-imidate complex cis-[PtCl(dmg)(PPh 3) 2], which was structurally characterized. The plane of the imidate ligand is approximately perpendicular to the platinum coordination plane which, coupled with restricted rotation about the Pt-N bond, results in inequivalent methyl groups and CH2 protons of the dmg ligand in the room temperature 1H NMR spectrum. These observations were corroborated by a theoretical study using density functional theory methods. The analogous bromide complex cis-[PtBr(dmg)(PPh 3) 2] can be prepared by replacing NaCl with NaBr in the reaction mixture.
