HYDROLYSIS CONSTANTS OF SOME PLATINUM(II) CHLORO COMPLEXES CONTAINING UNSATURATED LIGANDS

Abstract

Hydrolysis equilibrium constants have been determined for a series of compounds of the general form K[LPtCl3], where L is a substituted dialkyl acetylene. The hydrolysis equilibrium position is only slightly affected by the nature of L, indicating that the trans metal–chlorine and metal–water bonds are similar in character.
