Description
Platinum double-salts, such as [Pt(CNC2H5)4] [Pt(CN)4] are fairly common in platinum (II) chemistry. Their structure d8 consists of square-planar ions stacked atop one another. Some of these square-planar platinum complexes exhibit the ability to detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by changing colors within the visual spectrum, and, when removed from the VOCs, return to their original state. These compounds are known as vapochromes. Some of these complexes, however, are unstable under specific conditions. Knowing the causes of these instabilities may help to improve upon future platinum double-salts or even to create a new class of vapochromes.
The platinum complex [Pt(CNC2H5)4] [Pt(CN)4] was synthesized. An analysis of the stability and structure of this compound was carried out in a variety of solvents including water, ethanol, and dichloromethane. The characterization of this platinum complex was ascertained using ATR FTIR to monitor the changes of the complex in each solvent system.
