A highly water-soluble platinum(ii) complex containing a thiopropyl-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane(12) ligand functionalised with a pendant glycerol group

Abstract

Reaction of the novel thiopropyl-closo-1,2-carborane ligand bearing a pendant glycerol group HS(CH2)3CB10H10CCH2OCH(CH2OH)2 (L) with the labile platinum(II) precursor [Pt(MeCN)(terpy)](OTf)2 (terpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine; OTf = trifluoromethanesulfonate) affords the highly water-soluble platinum(II) complex [PtL(terpy)]OTf, the first example of a metal–carborane complex functionalised with a water-solubilising glycerol group.
