Abstract
Thermal decomposition and cis-trans isomerization of square planar platinum(II) complexes of the type PtL 2 X 2 , L = organophosphorus ligand and X = halide, are reported. It is shown by thermogravimetric measurements that phenyl loss is the rate-determining step in the decomposition of arylphosphine complexes and that increased phenyl substitution in the phosphine ligand decreases the thermal stability of the complex. Thermogravimetric decomposition of such complexes in an air atmosphere is suggested as a method of platinum analysis.
