title: Synthesis of enantiomeric pureCis-dichloroplatinum(II) amino acid complexes.
abstract: The reaction of potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) with six representative sulfurcontaining amino acids, namely,D- andL-cysteine,D- andL-methionine and its methyl ester hydrochloride gives the corresponding enantiomerically purecis-dichloroplatinum(II) complexes. This represents the first reported series of well-characterized enantiomerically pure platinum(II) complexes for bothD- andL-amino acids.The spectroscopic properties, including IR,(1)H-NMR, and(13)C NMR, of these complexes and their configuration are discussed.
