Abstract

The synthesis of a series of platinum complexes containing cyclooctadiene ligands with the general structure PtMeL(R-cod) (where L = Cl, I, nC3F7, iC3F7, nC8F17, Me, aryl, alkynyl and R = H, Me, Et, iPr, nBu, iBu, nHex, Ph) is presented. All complexes are remarkably stable and were obtained in excellent yields. Their structure in both solution and the solid state were explored by crystal structures and multinuclear (1H, 13C, 19F, 195Pt) NMR spectroscopy. Cytotoxicity experiments with selected complexes in HeLa cells revealed higher toxicity in comparison to that of cisplatin for most of the structures.
