Complex compounds of platinum with acetamide

1. A study has been made of the action of amines(ethylenediamine and ammonia) on nonionic platinum acetamide compounds, and it has been shown that these nonelectrolytes may be converted into compounds of the electrolyte type. 2. Ethylenediamine-acetamide and ammonia-acetamide platinum compounds have been synthesized; their structures may be represented by the following formulas: [PtNH2COCH3·NHCOCH3·A]X, where A = En and NH3; X = NO3, CI, Br, I, CNS or NO2. 3. It has been suggested that in the ethylenediamine-acetamide platinum compounds there is a hydrogen bond between the nitrogen of the free amino group and the oxygen of the neighboring acetamide.
