Abstract

The thermal decomposition characteristics of representatives of three classes of organoplatinum compounds have been examined by thermogravimetry. Substituted salicylato(1,2-diaminocyclohexane)platinum(II) compounds undergo thermal decomposition by sequential loss of first the salicylato ligand and then the amine ligand to afford a residue corresponding to the platinum content of the compound. The thermal decomposition of N-arylsalicylaldimino(1,2-diaminocyclohexane)platinum(II) nitrate is more complex, but is also characterized by two major weight losses. Thermal decomposition ofbis-(2-thiophenecarboxylato)platinum(II) is characterized by ligand fragmentation to generate a residual mass corresponding to the platinum content of the compound.

Zusammenfassung

Mittels Thermogravimetrie wurden die thermischen Zersetzungsmerkmale von Vertretern dreier Klassen von Organoplatinverbindungen untersucht. Substituierte Salicylato-(1,2-diaminocyclohexan)platin(II)-Verbindungen zersetzen sich thermisch, indem zuerst die Salicylatoliganden und anschließend die Aminliganden abgegeben werden, wobei ein Rest entsteht, der mit dem Platingehalt der Verbindung übereinstimmt. Die thermische Zersetzung von N-Arylsalicylaldimino(1,2-diaminocyclohexan)platin(II)-nitrat ist komplizierter, ist aber ebenfalls durch zwei größere Masseverluste gekennzeichnet. Die thermische Zersetzung von bis-(2-Thiophencarboxylato)platin(II) ist durch eine Ligandenfragmentation gekennzeichnet, nach der eine Restmasse erhalten wird, die mit dem Platingehalt der Verbindung identisch ist.
