Abstract
A number of chlorofluoro-, fluorohydroxo-, and chlorofluorohydroxo-platinate(IV) species have been characterized in solution by 19F n.m.r. spectroscopy. The 19F chemical shifts, δ, are given to a good approximation by δ=pC+qT, where C and T are constants characteristic of Cl or OH and p and q are the number of substituents cis and trans to the fluorine atom, respectively. The fluorohydroxoplatinate complexes are protonated in acid solution, and pK values of the aqua-species have been determined from the 19F chemical shifts as a function of pH. The observed reactions can be rationalized in terms of a trans effect of ligands, in the order Cl > OH F. Solvent shifts of 195Pt–19F coupling constants are reported.
