195pt and 1h nmr has been used to show that addition of chlorine and bromine to [pt(cn)4]2_ in presence of perchloric acid in water results in cyanide and water scrambling with formation of eleven complexes of the type [pt(cn)4-ncl(h2o)n+1](n-1)+ (n=0, 1, 2, 3, 4). addition of nbu4oh to this solution gives (nbu4)2[pt(cn)4cl(oh)]. nmr measurements in acetone also show cyanide and hydroxyl group ...
