195Pt NMR—theory and application

Abstract

This critical review highlights the progress in ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR over the last 25 years. In particular, some of the recent applications of ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR in catalytic and mechanistic studies, intermetallics and drug binding studies are discussed. ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR chemical shifts obtained from both theoretical studies and experiments are presented for Pt(0), Pt(II), Pt(III) and Pt(IV) complexes. ¹⁹⁵Pt coupling with various nuclei (viz. coupling constants) have also been collected in addition to data on ¹⁹⁵Pt relaxation. The latest developments in the theoretical knowledge and experimental advances have made ¹⁹⁵Pt NMR into a rich source of information in many fields. (164 references.)
