title: Comment on "Delivering a photosensitive transplatin prodrug to overcome cisplatin drug resistance" by H. Song, W. Li, R. Qi, L. Yan, X. Jing, M. Zheng and H. Xiao, Chem. Commun., 2015, 51, 11493.
abstract: Consistency of literature results with the transformation of trans-diamminedichloridoplatinum(ii) (transplatin) into cis-diammine-dichloridoplatinum(ii) (cisplatin) under UVA irradiation claimed in the article recently published in this journal is questioned on the basis of previous and new experimental data.
