Pt-195 NMR - theory and application

This critical review highlights the progress in Pt-195 NMR over the last 25 years. In particular, some of the recent applications of Pt-195 NMR in catalytic and mechanistic studies, intermetallics and drug binding studies are discussed. Pt-195 NMR chemical shifts obtained from both theoretical studies and experiments are presented for Pt(0), Pt(II), Pt(III) and Pt(IV) complexes. Pt-195 coupling with various nuclei (viz. coupling constants) have also been collected in addition to data on Pt-195 relaxation. The latest developments in the theoretical knowledge and experimental advances have made Pt-195 NMR into a rich source of information in many fields.
