Abstract

A general method for evaluating rate constants in complex exchange networks with N-sites from two-dimensional EXSY (NOESY) NMR spectra is proposed. A computer program D2DNMR capable of performing signal intensity to exchange rate calculations (and vice versa), based on a matrix formalism, is outlined. The method is illustrated by 195Pt 2D NMR studies of the A ⇌ B ⇌ C spin system arising from pyramidal sulfur inversion in platinum(IV) complexes of type [Pt XMe 3(MeSCH 2CH 2SMe)] ( X = Cl, I). Comparison with 1H NMR bandshape analyses of the same compounds shows high agreement between the rate constants and activation parameters determined by both techniques. Mechanisms of 195Pt spin-lattice relaxation are briefly discussed.
