## Abstract

This invention relates to a compound of platinum having the structure: ##STR1## in which X and Y are halogenoid groups which are the same or different and are preferably both chloride but may be other halide or pseudohalide such as cyanate, thiocyanate and azide or other similar groups, and A and B are the same or different branched chain aliphatic amine groups co-ordinated to the Pt through their N atoms.

## Background
This invention relates to new compositions of matter containing platinum.

According to one aspect of the present invention a composition of matter comprises a co-ordination compound of platinum having the structure: ##STR2## in which X and Y are halogenoid groups which are the same or different and are preferably both chloride but may be other halide or pseudohalide such as cyanate, thiocyanate and azide and A and B are the same or different branched chain aliphatic amine groups co-ordinated to the Pt through their N atoms.

According to a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a co-ordination compound of platinum having the structure: ##STR3## in which X and Y are halogenoid groups which are the same or different and are preferably both chloride but may be other halide pseudohalide such as cyanide, cyanate, thiocyanate, or azide or other similar groups and A and B are the same or different branched chain aliphatic amine groups or C-substituted branched chain aliphatic amine groups co-ordinated to the Pt through their N atoms each having the general formula

in which n may vary from 3 to 9 and in which all of the R groups are either the same or different and are preferably all hydrogen but may be selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, halogen, pseudohalogen, hydroxy, carbonyl, formyl, nitro, amido, amino, sulphonic acid, sulphonic acid salt, carboxylic acid, carboxylic acid salt, and substituted alkyl, aryl, alkaryl and aralkyl groups.

The platinum is preferably present as Pt.sup.4+, thus producing a neutral complex with two hydroxyl and two halide ligands.

Although R groups other than hydrogen are not normally preferred, they may be used and may comprise lower alkyl such as methyl or ethyl or a solubilizing group such as a sulphonic acid group. Solubilizing groups as substituents such as carboxylic acid, sulphonic acid, carboxylic acid salt, sulphonic acid salt, e.g. the sodium, potassium or lithium salts are sometimes appropriate when the clinical conditions require high solubility.

Throughout the specification and claims, the term "halogenoid" is used to mean halide (chloride, bromide, iodide or fluoride) or pseudohalide such as cyanide, cyanate, thiocyanate or azide.

Suitable branched chain amine compounds which may be used for groups A and B are isopropylamine, isobutylamine, isoamylamine and 2-aminohexane.

Platinum (IV) complexes are more soluble than Platinum (IV) complexes are more soluble than platinum (II) complexes and, after solubilizing Pt(IV) may be used in the form of Pt(II). The branched chain amine complexes of Pt(IV) are also useful in catalyst preparation by impregnating supports with an aqueous solution of the complex. Alternatively, the solution may be based upon an organic medium. The complexes of the invention may also be used as catalysts in the hydrosilation of organic compounds so as to introduce a silica radical into an organic compound and as synthetic intermediate compounds.
