Potential Anticancer Activities and Catalytic Oxidation Efficiency of Platinum(IV) Complex.

The treatment of an aqueous acetonitrile solution of chloroplatinic acid hydrate HPtCl.xHO and pyridine-2-carbaldehyde-oxime (paOH) in the presence of potassium thiocyanate at room temperature (25°) led to the formation of a new Pt(IV) complex with the formula Complex was fully characterized by FT-IR, UV-vis and NMR spectroscopic techniques as well as elemental analysis. The crystallographic structure of complex was obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
