Reactions of the flexible α,ω-bis(pyrazol-1-yl) compounds 1,2-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)ethane (L1), 1,8-bis(pyrazol-1-yl)-n-octane (L2), bis[2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl]ether (L3) and bis[2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl]thioether (L4) with precursor organometallic platinum complexes ([(PtBr2Me2)n], [(PtIMe3)4] and [(PtMe2(cod)]/I2) are described herein. The spectroscopic characterization of the platinum(IV) products of these reactions [PtBr2Me2{pz(CH2)mpz}], m = 2 (1) or 8 (2), [PtI2Me2{pz(CH2)2pz}] (3), [PtMe3(pzCH2CH2OCH2CH2pz)][BF4] (4) and [PtMe3(pzCH2CH2SCH2CH2pz)][CF3SO3] (5), where ‘pz’ is pyrazol-1-yl, is discussed. Furthermore, solid state structures of 1, a complex with a seven-membered chelate ring, and 4, a complex bearing the neutral κ2N,N′,κO ligand bis[2-(pyrazol-1-yl)ethyl]ether (L3) are reported.
