Double whammy for platinum cluster
Scientists in Canada have determined the structure of a carbonatoplatinum(IV) complex that shows an unprecedented geometry
03-Mar-2009 -
Richard Puddephatt and colleagues from the University of Western Ontario, Canada, oxidised a Pt(II) chelate complex with hydrogen peroxide to form carbonatoplatinum(IV) crystals. The X-ray crystallography of the product showed that the crystals contained two distinct Pt(IV) moieties. Firstly, it ...
