The reaction between K[PtCl3(Me2SO)] or prepared in this work cis- and trans-[PtCl2(NCNR2)(Me2SO)] (R2 = Me2,1; C4H8O, 2; C5H103) with an excess of NCNR2 in water gives the cationic bischelate [Pt{κ2-N,N′′′-NH
C(NMe2)OC(NMe2)
NH}2]2+ (42+) and the monochelates [PtCl{κ2-N,O-NH
C(NR2)NC(NR2)
O}(Me2SO)] (R2 = C4H8O, 5; C5H10, 6). Complex 42+ was released from the reaction mixture as 4·[PtCl3(Me2SO)]2·(H2O)2 or it was precipitated as 4·[A]2 (A = pic, 4·[pic]2; PF6, 4·[PF6]2; BPh4, 4·[BPh4]2·(NH2CONMe2)) by addition of picric acid, NaPF6, or NaBPh4, respectively, to the filtrate obtained after separation of 4·[PtCl3(Me2SO)]2·(H2O)2. In 2, the dialkylcyanamide ligand undergoes bond cleavage giving the known trans-[PtCl2{N(H)C4H8O}(Me2SO)] (trans-7). All complexes were characterized by elemental analyses (C, H, N), high resolution ESI-MS, IR, 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopic techniques, including 2D NMR correlation experiments (1H,1H-COSY, 1H,13C-HMQC/1H,13C HSQC, 1H,13C-HMBC, and 1H,1H-NOESY). The structures of cis-1, cis-3, 4·[PtCl3(Me2SO)]2·(H2O)2, 4·[BPh4]2·(NH2CONMe2) and 5 were determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
