Figure 7.5: 195Pt NMR spectra <strong>of</strong> mixtures HexPt-Cl and TU (1:2; 1:4 and 1:6 equiv.) in<br />

D2O, at 30 °C; where A is the peak due to starting complex cis–<br />

[{PtCl(NH3)2}2–µ–NH2(CH2)6NH2] 2+, B and C are intermediates, cis–<br />

[{PtCl(NH3)2}–μ–NH2–(CH2)6–NH2–{PtTU(NH3)2}] 3+ and cis–<br />

[{Pt(TU)(NH3)2}2–μ–NH2(CH2)6NH2] 4+, respectively, while D is the final<br />

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

It can therefore be concluded that in this study the final product is a dinuclear Pt(<strong>II</strong>)<br />

complex with two thiourea coordinated to each <strong>of</strong> the Pt(<strong>II</strong>) centres, and that the<br />

substitution mechanism is a stepwise process as represented by Scheme 7.4.<br />
