title: (195)Pt NMR isotopologue and isotopomer distributions of [PtCl(n)(H(2)O)(6 - n)](4 - n) (n = 6,5,4) species as a fingerprint for unambiguous assignment of isotopic stereoisomers.
abstract: A detailed analysis of the (35)Cl/(37)Cl isotope shifts induced in the 128.8 MHz (195)Pt NMR resonances of [PtCl(n)(H(2)O)(6 - n)](4 - n) complexes (n = 6,5,4) in acidic solution at 293 K, shows that the unique isotopologue and isotopomer distribution displayed by the resolved (195)Pt resonances, serve as a fingerprint for the unambiguous identification and assignment of the isotopic stereoisomers of [PtCl(5)(H(2)O)](-) and cis/trans-[PtCl(4)(H(2)O)(2)].
