195Pt NMR and DFT computational methods as tools towards the understanding of speciation and hydration/solvation of [PtX6] 2- (X = Cl-, Br-) anions in solution

Abstract

195Pt NMR together with DFT calculations and MD simulations, offer a powerful toolkit with which to probe the hydration shells of the [PtCl6]2- anions, which may lead to a more profound understanding of the solute-solvent interactions of such complexes. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2006.
