Bridge splitting of trans-[PtCl2(C2H4)](2) by ethene using a simple combined NMR-UV/vis cell: Crystal and molecular structure of cis-[PtCl2(C2H4)(2)]

Summary, in English

Bridge splitting of trans- [PtCl2(C2H4)](2) by C2H4 in chloroform yields trans-[PtCl2(C2H4)(2)] which slowly isomerises to cis[PtCl2(C2H4)(2)] (crystal structure reported); the bridge-splitting equilibrium constant was determined as 6.8 +/- 0.6 mol(-1) dm(3) by the use of a combined NMR tube/spectrophotometric cell, enabling NMR and UV/vis measurements on the same closed system.
