Figure 7.4: An array <strong>of</strong> 1 H NMR spectra <strong>of</strong> HexPt–Cl (showing methylene (CH2) protons<br />

only) acquired during the reaction with 6 equiv. TU in D2O, at 30 °C, with<br />

spectrum “a” at zero time and “d” after 12.0 h reaction time, respectively.<br />

Where Ha = (CH2, 1/6), Hb = (CH2, 2/5) and Hc = (CH2, 3/4) represent the<br />

methylene protons as shown in the structure for starting complex above,<br />

showing the formation <strong>of</strong> substituted thiourea products described in<br />

Scheme 7.4. The protons Ha’/Ha” are (CH2, 1/6), Hb’/Hb” are (CH2, 2/5) and<br />

Hc’/Hc” are (CH2, 3/4) protons for cis–[{Pt(TU)(NH3)2}2–µ–<br />

NH2(CH2)6NH2] +4 and cis–[{Pt(TU)2(NH3)}2–µ–NH2(CH2)6NH2] +4 species,<br />

respectively. * are peaks due to unknown impurities in solution or solvent.<br />

The 195Pt NMR is an effective method to determine the coordination details <strong>of</strong> the<br />

complexes, since the chemical shift <strong>of</strong> the 195 Pt resonance is influenced by the number <strong>of</strong><br />

coordinated donor atoms surrounding the Pt(<strong>II</strong>) centre. The peak (A) at -2420 ppm in<br />

Figure 7.5 corresponds to the unreacted starting complex HexPt–Cl. This peak<br />

disappeared within the first 30 minutes and was replaced by two new peaks (B and C)<br />
