Abstract
2,2'-Diaminobiphenyl platinum (II) complexes of optically active trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane and 1,2-diaminopropane, [Pt(S,S-chxn)(dabp)]Cl2, [Pt(R,R-chxn)(dabp)]$C_{12}$, [Pt(S-pn)(dabp)]$C_{l2}$, and [Pt(R-pn)(dabp)]Cl2, where S,S-chxn and R,R-chxn are, respectively, S and R isomers of trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, and S-pn and R-pn are, respectively, S and R isomers of 1,2-diaminopropane, and dabp the 2,2'-diaminobipheny, have been prepared. The dabp ligand has been found to take the $=delta$ conformation in the S,S-chxn and S-pn platinum (II) complexes, while it takes the $\lambda$ conformation in the R,R-chxn and R-pn platinum (II) complexes.
