Rates and Mechanisms for Halide Anation Reactions of Platinum(IV) Complexes
The bromide anation of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− has been studied at 25 °C and the chloride anations of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− and PtBr5H2O− at 50 °C. These reactions proceed via halide assisted mechanisms, compatible with the experimental rate laws determined. The bromide anation of tr-PtBr4CIH2O− studied at 50 °C gives PtBr5Cl2− via a bromide assisted path and PtBr62− via an REOA-path. The observed rate law is detThe bromide anation of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− has been studied at 25 °C and the chloride anations of tr-PtCl4BrH2O− and PtBr5H2O− at 50 °C.
