Notes:
A new series of four binuclear platinum-thallium cyano compounds containing a direct and unsupported by ligands metal-metal bond has been prepared in aqueous solution. These compounds are represented by the formula[(NC)5Pt-Tl(CN)n-1](n-1)- (n = 1-4 for compounds I, II, III IV, respectively) and [(NC)5Pt-Tl-Pt(CN)5]3- (for compound V). The oligonuclear complexes are synthesised according to the reaction mPt(CN)42- + Tl3+ + nCN- █[PtmTl(CN)4m+n]3-2-n. Thus, there occurs a change of the coordination number of the Pt center from four (square planar) to six (octahedral). Consequently, the formation of binuclear platinum-thallium cyano compounds involves at least two steps: (i) formation of metal-metal bond and (ii) formation of (NC)5Pt- unit by a cyanide transfer process. - The complexes exist in an equilibrium, which also includes the parent complexes Pt(CN)42- and Tl(CN)n3-n (n = 0-4), and can be controlled by varying the cyanide concentration and/or pH of the solution. The stability constants of the compounds βN =[PtmTl(CN)4m+n3-2m-n{[Pt(CN)42-]m · [Tl3+] · [CN-]n} have been determined by means of multinuclear NMR (195Pt, 205Tl): logβN = 19.9±0.4, 30.7±0.3, 38.6±0.3, and 44.8±0.2 for I, II, III and IV(m = 1, n = 1-4), and 32.1±0.3 for V(m = 2, n = 2), respectively, (in 1 M NaClO4 as ionic medium, at 25 oC). To our knowledge, the present work constitutes the first detailed equilibrium study of metal-metal bonded compounds; it indicates that also other cluster formation reactions described in the literature may represent real equilibria.
