The crystal structure and {sup 13}C and {sup 195}Pt NMR spectra of the amidate-bridged binuclear Pt(II) complex (Pt{sub 2}(NH{sub 3}){sub 4}(C{sub 4}H{sub 6}N-O){sub 2}){sub 2}(PF{sub 6}){sub 3}(NO{sub 3}){center dot}H{sub 2}O show that although the complex cation is binuclear in solution, it is tetranuclear in the solid state, where its structure is basically identical with that of the previously reported cis-diammineplatinum {alpha}-pyrrolidonate tan cation (Pt{sub 4}-(NH{sub 3}){sub 8}(C{sub 4}H{sub 6}NO){sub 4}){sup 6+}. The amidate-bridged Pt-Pt distance in the present complex is 3.033 (2) {angstrom}, and the central Pt-Pt distance, without the amidate bridge, is 3.186 (2) {angstrom}. These distances are significantly longer than the corresponding ones already reported for the {alpha}-pyridonate complexes (Pt{sub 2}(NH{sub 3}){sub 4}(C{sub 5}H{sub 4}NO){sub 2}){sub 2}{sup 4+} and (Pt{sub 2}(en){sub 2}(C{sub 5}H{sub 4}NO){sub 2}){sub 2}{sup 4+}. Both {sup 13}C and {sup 195}Pt NMR spectra of the present complex in D{sub 2}O revealed the existence of head-to-head (H-H) and head-to-tail (H-T) isomers, indicating that the H-H isomer very rapidly isomerizes to the H-T isomer on dissolution in water and both isomers exist in equilibrium in solution. This rapid isomerization contrasts to the case of the corresponding {alpha}-pyridonate complex (Pt{sub 2}(en){sub 2}(C{sub 5}H{sub 4}NO){sub 2}){sup 2+}, whose isomerization equilibrium requires about 2 days to be established. 24 refs., 5 figs., 4 tabs.
