Applications of nuclear magnetic resonance to study the structure of platinum-group metal complexes in aqueous solutions

Abstract

The review includes comprehensive NMR data on platinum metals (^99,101Ru, ¹⁰³Rh, ¹⁰⁵Pd, ¹⁸⁷Os, ¹⁹⁵Pt) and ligand donor atoms (¹H, ¹³C, ^14,15N, ¹⁷O, ¹⁹F, ³¹P) of metal complexes in aqueous solutions. A systematic analysis of NMR spectroscopy techniques is presented with focus on the measurements of NMR parameters in these systems. A novel concept referred to as coordinate shift is introduced, allowing interpretation of NMR spectra of platinum metal complexes. The review contains an encyclopedic NMR database covering a period of over 50 years from the first measured NMR spectra of platinum metals to 2014.
