This article reviews discrete complexes of platinum in its common oxidation states+ II,+ III,
and+ IV with aqua, hydroxido, oxido, and peroxido ligands, which at some point had been …

Chemical structure and bonding are key features and concepts in chemical systems which
are used in deriving structure–property relationships, and hence in predicting physical and …

Complexes [Pt (C6F5)(bzq) L](bzq= 7, 8-benzoquinolinate; L= 8-hydroxyquinoline, hqH (1);
2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline, hqH′(2)) have been prepared by replacing the labile acetone …

Force-field parameters of the first row transition metals together with a few additional
common elements such as those from the second (Rh, Ru) and third (Hg, Pt) rows of …

The binding of d 8 transition metal ions to X–H bonds (X= non-metal) has been subject of
intense research in the last two decades. Two different types of orbital interactions can …

Abstract Cisplatin [cis‐diamminedichloroplatinum (II)] was the first platinum‐based
antineoplastic agent and is still a cornerstone for the treatment of various solid tumors …

MP2 and DFT calculations with correlation consistent basis sets indicate that isolated linear
anionic dialkylgold (I) complexes form moderately strong (ca. 10 kcal mol− 1) Au⋅⋅⋅ H …

We present ab initio simulations based on subsystem DFT of group 10 aqua ions accurately
compared against experimental data on hydration structure. Our simulations provide insights …

Abstract Cisplatin (cis-diamminedichloroplatinum (II), cis-[PtCl 2 (NH 3) 2]), widely used drug
in cancer treatment, has been allowed to react with simple molecular targets (L) mimicking …

The interaction between hydrogen bond donors and platinum has been analysed. Our
results point to an interaction that can be entirely predicted from the dz2 orbital energy of the …
