Applications of nuclear magnetic resonance to study the structure of platinum-group metal complexes in aqueous solutions

The review includes comprehensive NMR data on platinum metals (Ru-99,Ru-101, Rh-103, Pd-105, Os-187, Pt-195) and ligand donor atoms (H-1, C-13, N-14,N-15, O-17, F-19, P-31) of metal complexes in aqueous solutions. A systematic analysis of NMR spectroscopy techniques is presented with focus on the measurements of NMR parameters in these systems. A novel concept referred to as coordinate shift is introduced, allowing interpretation of NMR spectra of platinum metal complexes. The review contains an encyclopedic NMR database covering a period of over 50 years from the first measured NMR spectra of platinum metals to 2014.
