This thesis describes a study of dimethylplatinum(II) complexes containing bidentate nitrogen donor ligands. This work deals with the oxidative addition of peroxides and focuses on synthesis, characterization and reaction mechanisms of these complexes.
Dimethylplatinum(II) complexes were reacted with oxidants dimethyldioxirane (DMDO), meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (m-CPBA) and phthaloyl peroxide. The use of these oxidants has allowed for the synthesis of novel platinum(IV) complexes by oxidative addition and the formation of unique supramolecular networks. The formation of both trans- and cis-oxidative addition products was controlled by the type of oxidant utilized. By varying the ligand design of the …
