Synthesis and characterization of novel iminophosphineplatinum(II) complexes containing aliphatic groups

Abstract

Six novel iminophosphines were synthesized following the addition of the appropriate alkyl amine to 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and subsequent coordination to platinum. All compounds were fully characterized by FT-IR and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Melting point determination was carried out on solid compounds. An X-ray diffraction studied was performed on dicholoro-[(2-(diphenylphosphino)benzilidene)hexylamine]platinum(II) (Pt1). Future work will focus on characterizing platinum complexes using elemental analysis and screening the bioactivity.
