gave a combination of 2 mononuclear units <strong>and</strong> a binuclear unit. 152<br />

This will be revisited<br />

briefly in chapter 2 for comparison purposes with the compounds discussed therein.<br />

There h<strong>as</strong> also been limited work put towards the coordination of DSDA radical<br />

lig<strong>and</strong>s. The only other reports prior to the DSDA complexes discussed in chapter 2 were<br />

obtained using the phenyl substituted DSDA in reactions similar to those carried out for<br />

I-24 <strong>and</strong> I-25. The radical w<strong>as</strong> reacted with excess Pt(dppe) 2 to give a green compound<br />

which exhibited a broad singlet EPR spectrum with satellites from the phosphorus atoms<br />

<strong>and</strong> w<strong>as</strong> found to be compound I-34. This green colour quickly dissipated however,<br />

giving a yellow solution with a precipitate. There w<strong>as</strong> still an EPR signal; however the g<br />

value <strong>and</strong> coupling parameters confirmed that it w<strong>as</strong> the uncoordinated radical. The<br />

I-34 I-<strong>35</strong><br />

precipitate w<strong>as</strong> found to contain two different platinum species.<br />

One w<strong>as</strong><br />

analogous to the trinuclear I-25, however a different compound I-<strong>35</strong> w<strong>as</strong> also observed in<br />

which one of the selenium atoms had been lost to give a 5 membered ring with platinum.<br />

Both nitrogen atoms were protonated <strong>and</strong> the cationic charge w<strong>as</strong> stabilized by a chlorine<br />

atom. 153<br />

The nature of this counter-ion <strong>and</strong> the source of protonation were not<br />
