The trimethylplatinum (IV) completes octahedral coordination by bonding to three oxygen atoms of the tripod shaped methoxy Klaeui ligand. There are two independent molecule has normal bond distances and angles; Pt-c = 2. 001(11) Angstrom and Pt-O = 2.73(5) Angstrom. Many distances in the disordered molecule are uncertain, particularly in the areas of the C sup p carbon atom s and the CH3 groups, which overlap in the two orientations. ...
Water-soluble organic compounds are selectively oxidized by aqueous solutions of chloroplatinum(II) and chloroplatinum(IV) salts. p-Toluenesulfonic acid undergoes stepwise hydroxylation to the corresponding alcohol and aldehyde, with no further oxidation to the carboxylic acid: p-ethylbenzenesulfonic acid is functionalized at both benzylic and methyl positions. Ethanol is converted to a spectrum Of C2 (chloro)oxygenates, including ethylene glycol and 2- chloroethanol, products resulting from methyl functionalization. n-Propanol is also significantly attacked at the ...
