This study revises the electronic structure of octahedral platinum complexes with halogens or chalcogens and provides a new interpretation and theoretical framework. It is of great significance for developing new synthetic strategies and exploring new applications.
Platinum complexes are ubiquitous in chemistry and largely used as catalysts or as precursors in drug chemistry, thus a deep knowledge of their electronic properties may help in planning new synthetic strategies or exploring new potential applications. Herein, the electronic structure of many octahedral platinum complexes is drastically revised especially when they feature electronegative elements such as halogens and chalcogens. The investigation revealed that in most cases the five d platinum orbitals are invariably full, thus the empty antibonding orbitals, usually localized on the metal, are mainly centered on the ligands, suggesting a questionable assignment of formal oxidation state IV. The analysis supports the occurrence of the inverted ligand field theory in all cases with the only exceptions of the Pt-F and Pt-O bonding. The trends for the molecular complexes are mirrored also by the density of states plots of extended structures featuring octahedral platinum moieties in association with chalcogens atoms. Finally, the oxidative addition of a Se-Cl linkage to a square platinum complex to achieve an octahedral moiety has been revised in the framework of the inverted ligand field. The electronic structure of octahedral platinum complexes with halogens or chalcogens was revised in the framework of the Inverted Ligand Field. The formal IV platinum oxidation state was in no case supported except in combination with oxygen and fluorine. A new interpretation of the oxidative addition process was also provided.**image
