Oxidation-reduction properties of platinum complexes of the amino type

Abstract

1. The oxidation-reduction potentials of a number of systems of the amino complexes of platinum were measured. It was shown that the systems containing the dihydroxo complexes of Pt(IV) are irreversible. 2. The dependence of the potentials of systems containing the dihalo complexes of Pt(IV) on the temperature in the range 10–50° was investigated; a study was made of the effect of the stability of the complex and the nature of the coordinated groups on the value of the potential; a thermodynamic characterization of the processes was given.
