Photochemical oxidative addition of hydrazinium cations to tetracyanoplatinate(II) induced by OSCT excitation

Zusammenfassung

The hydrazinium cations N2H62+/N2H5+ form ion pairs with [Pt(CN)(4)](2-). Outer-sphere charge transfer excitation (Pt-II --> N2H62+/N2H5+) induces an oxidative addition: N2H62+/N2H5+ Pt(CN)(4)(2-) --> [Pt-IV(CN)(4)(NH3)(2) and [Pt(CN)(4)(NH3)(NH2)], respectively.
