Crystal and Molecular Structure of a Platinum(II) Complex with β-Mercaptoethylamine Hydrochloride

Resumo

The work describes in detail the structure of a coordination platinum(II) compound with the sulfur-and nitrogen-containing biologically active β-mercaptoethylamine ligand NH₂CH₂CH₂SH which deprotonates during synthesis and acts simultaneously as a chelating and bridging ligand resulting in the formation of the hexanuclear [Pt₆(NH₂CH₂CH₂S)₈]Cl₄·3H₂O complex of a non-cluster type. Depending on the conditions, in particular, medium pH, complexes with different nuclearities and hydration numbers can form in this system.
