Abstract
The kinetics of interaction of cis-[Pt(cis-dach)(H2O)2]2+ (where dach is cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane) with three different amino acids, namely L-Asparagine (L1H), L-Arginine (L2H), and L-Gluatmic acid (L3H) have been studied spectrophotometrically in the 40–60°C temperature range. The substitution was found to occur in two subsequent reaction steps: the first step is the ligand-assisted anation and the second one is the chelation step. The kinetic study has been substantiated by product isolation, IR, NMR, and ESI-MS spectroscopic analysis.
