Solvent, concentration, and temperature dependance of the platinum–phosphorus nuclear magnetic résonance coupling constants in cis- and trans-[PtCl2(PBu3n)2]

Abstract
Studies of the effects of solvent, concentration and temperature on the 31P nmr parameters of cis- and trans-[PtCl2(PBun3)2] are reported. The coupling constants, 1JPt–P are markedly dependent upon all three variables but, in contrast to previous studies on non-coordination compounds, very little corresponding variation in chemical shifts is found. Results are discussed in terms of a solvent cavity model using reaction field, Stark and Macrae effects but it is concluded that a more specific model involving competitive solvation at platinum gives a better interpretation of the data.
