Advances in the synthesis mulitmetallic systems: hydroxyl group protection in aryldiamine platinum species

Abstract

A multimetallic system containing three platinum atoms has been synthesized through use of an (aryldiamine)platinum complex with a protected hydroxyl group which, after deprotection, is coupled with the trisubstituted aryl molecule 1,3,5-tris(chlorocarbonyl)benzene that provides the core moiety. The resulting trimetallic system is formed in high yield and has been characterized by elemental microanalysis, spectroscopic techniques, and mass spectrometry.
