Abstract

Three isomers of Pt(EDTAH2)Cl2, with the ligand tetradentate, have been isolated. The isomer with chloro ligands trans is the initial product of chlorine oxidation of Pt(EDTAH2), but may be converted readily to thermodynamically more stable isomers with chloro ligands cis. These latter two isomers may also be isolated from direct reaction of K2PtCl6 and Na2(EDTAH2), and from chlorine oxidation of Pt(EDTAH4)Cl2. Pt(EDTAH4)Cl4(bidentate ligand) and Pt(EDTAH3)Cl3(tridentate ligand) are intermediates in these reactions. The trichloro complex may be isolated. Conversion of Pt(EDTAH3)Cl3 to the isomers of Pt(EDTAH2)Cl2 provides an interesting example of the operation of the trans effect.
