The oxidation reaction in x-irradiated bis(ethylenediamine)platinum(II) bis(hydrogen squarate): a single-crystal EPR study of a platinum(III) complex
A large single crystal of bis(ethylenediamine)platinum bis(hydrogen squarate) ([Pt(en)[sub 2]](HSq)[sub 2]), has been X-irradiated at 77 K and studied by EPR. The g and [sup 195]Pt hyperfine tensors obtained from the angular dependence of the spectrum are consistent with the trapping of a Pt(III) co...

Summary: | A large single crystal of bis(ethylenediamine)platinum bis(hydrogen squarate) ([Pt(en)[sub 2]](HSq)[sub 2]), has been X-irradiated at 77 K and studied by EPR. The g and [sup 195]Pt hyperfine tensors obtained from the angular dependence of the spectrum are consistent with the trapping of a Pt(III) complex containing the unpaired electron in a d[sub z[sup 2]] orbital. Comparison of the orientations of the eigenvectors with those of the crystallographic interatomic vectors together with the predictions of X[alpha] calculations on the model complex [Pt(NH[sub 3])[sub 4](OH)[sub 2]][sup +] leads to a mechanism whereby a radiogenic radical, formed by homolytic scission of the hydrogen squarate hydroxyl, oxidizes the Pt(en)[sub 2] dication and yields [Pt(en)[sub 2](Sq)](HSq). |
