Abstract

Photochemistry of the [PtBr6]2– complex in the low-temperature methanol matrix (77 K) was studied by low-temperature spectrophotometry and ESR spectroscopy. The [PtBr4]2– complex is the main photolysis product. The mechanism of two-electron reduction of the platinum(IV) ion is proposed. The primary photochemical process is electron transfer from the solvent molecule to the photoexcited initial complex to form the intermediate radical complex ([PtBr6]3–...·CH2OH). The transfer of the second electron in the radical complex produces the final reaction products.
