title: Synthetic, Spectroscopic and Biocidal Aspects of Heterobimetallic Complexes Comprising Platinum(II) and a Group Four or Fourteen Element.
abstract: Heterobimetallic complexes with varying amines have been synthesized by the reaction of [Pt(C(2)H(8)N(2))(2)]Cl(2) with group four or fourteen organometallic dichlorides, viz., R(2)MCl(2) and Cp(2)M'Cl(2) in a 1:2 molar ratio in MeOH (where M=Si or Sn, M'= Ti or Zr and R=Ph or Me). These complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, molecular weight determinations, magnetic measurements, conductance, IR, (1)H NMR and electronic spectra. The spectral data suggest a square planar geometry for all the complexes. Conductivity data suggest that they behave as electrolytes. These monometallic precursors along with their complexes have been screened in vitro against a number of pathogenic fungi and bacteria to assess their growth inhibiting potential.
