Kinetic Studies of Oxidative Addition Reaction of Ethyl Iodide for Synthesizing New Pt(IV) Complex

A New complex of organoplatinum(IV) containing chelated ligand and N2 donor atoms was synthesized by the reaction of [(p-MeC6H4)2PtN2] with an excess of EtI. In this complex EtI as a reagent was coordinated to Pt(II) and formed a new complex of Pt(IV). The complex have been found to possess octahedral geometry and the molar conductivity values in (CH3)2CO implied the presence of non-electrolyte complexes. The synthesized complex has been characterized by different spectroscopies. Moreovere, oxidative addition reaction of EtI with Pt(II) complex in different temperatures was investigated and calculation of kobs, k2, Ea, entropy and enthalpy of activation were calculated using curve fitting by Microsoft Excell solver.
