Platinum( II ) co-ordination chemistry of bis(diphenylphosphino)amine

A spectroscopic and structural examination of the platinum(II) co-ordination chemistry of bis(diphenylphosphino)amine (dppa) and bis(diphenylphosphino)methylamine (dppma) has been made. The complexes [Pt(dppa)Cl2], [Pt(dppma)Cl2], [Pt(dppa)(CN)2], [Pt(dppma)(CN)2], [Pt(dppa)2]2+ and [Pt(dppma)2]2+ as the chloride, iodide and tetrafluoroborate salts, [Pt(Ph2PNPPh2)2], trans-[Pt-(dppa-P)2(CN)2] and [Pt2(µ-dppa)2(CN)2] have been prepared.
