It was revealed that the ternary complexes containing phenylalkane carboxylates ligands(PCA-) are much more stable than those formed with formate and acetate. The results indicate that there exist the intramolecular aromatic-ring interactions between the phenanthroline ring of Phen and the phenyl moiety of ligand PCA- in the ternary mixed-ligand Pt(Phen)(PCA)- complexes. The extent of the stacking interactions, which depends on the number of methylene groups between the phenyl moieties and the coordinated phenylalkane carboxylate groups, was calculated. The best-fitted stack was obtained for the complexes with 2-phenylacetate and 3-phenylpropionate as the ligands.展开更多
