Abstract

The electronic structure of mono- and binuclear platinum complexes with N-phenyl-o benzosemiquinondiimine ligands was studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and the density functional theory. The oxidation state of the central platinum ion corresponds to that of Pt(II). Upon the transition from the trans-complex 1 to the cis-complex 2 and to the binuclear complex 3, the electron density on platinum and nitrogen atoms decreases thus testifying the participation of platinum and nitrogen atoms in the oxidation processes and in the formation of binuclear complex 3.
