The compound (Pt(trpy)Cl)Cl reacts with the guanidine-containing compounds methylguanidine, arginine, and canavanine to form the yellow monometallic complexes (Pt(trpy)MeGua){sup 2+}, (Pt(trpy)ArgH){sup 2+}, and (Pt(trpy)CanH){sup 2+} and the red bimetallic complexes ((Pt(trpy)){sub 2}MeGua){sup 4+}, ((Pt(trpy)){sub 2}Arg){sup 3+}, and ((Pt(trpy)){sub 2}Can){sup 3+}. The yellow and the red complexes containing each of the three ligands are separated by cation-exchange chromatography, and the corresponding PF{sub 6}{sup {minus}}, ClO{sub 4}{sup {minus}}, and BPh{sub 4}{sup {minus}} salts are isolated by precipitation. The stability of the complexes upon heating and acidification and the relative difficulties of displacement of the guanidine ligands are studied semiquantitatively. The compositions of the new complexes are determined by mass, uv-vis, ir, and {sup 1}H, {sup 13}C, and {sup 195}Pt NMR spectroscopy. In the yellow complexes, each guanidine ligand probably binds to a Pt(trpy){sup 2+} group through a trigonal (imino-type) nitrogen atom. In the red complexes, each guanidine ligand bridges two Pt(trpy){sup 2+} groups, probably through a tetrahedral (amino-type)and a trigonal nitrogen atom. Results of the crystallographic study of ((Pt(trpy)){sub 2}Can)(ClO{sub 4}){sub 3} {times} 5.5H{sub 2}O are reported. 44 refs., 2 figs., 6 tabs.
