3. The effect <strong>of</strong> varying the position <strong>of</strong> the N-donor atoms <strong>of</strong> the bridging-diazine<br />

ligand on the σ-donor and π-acceptor properties <strong>of</strong> the ligand and its influence S.<br />

Hochreuther, R. Puchta, and R. van Eldik, Inorg. Chem., 2011, 50, 8984 on<br />

substitution reactivity <strong>of</strong> Pt(<strong>II</strong>) dinuclear complexes was investigated.<br />

4. The kinetic and thermodynamic behaviour <strong>of</strong> Pt(<strong>II</strong>) complexes with<br />

Parametalated pyridine spacer groups. Density functional theory (DFT)<br />

calculations were used to explain the difference in lability <strong>of</strong> the complexes that<br />

could be dependent on structural and steric effects <strong>of</strong> the flexible linker.<br />

5. The influence <strong>of</strong> α,ω-alkananediamine linker on ligand substitution <strong>of</strong> Pt(<strong>II</strong>)<br />

dinuclear complexes was investigated.<br />

Chapter 8 presents a summary <strong>of</strong> the results obtained in this study including future<br />

prospects.<br />
