Hydroxyl Radical Control through Hydrogen Bonding: Photolysis of Platinum(IV)hydroxido Complexes with Intramolecular H‑Bonding

Abstract

By introducing hydrogen-bonding groups into the coordination sphere of Pt­(IV) hydroxido complexes photogenerated hydroxyl radicals are tethered and directed to abstract a hydrogen atom from the ethyl group of a triethylphosphine ligand, even at 25 °C, to yield phosphaplatinacycle complexes
