in water byproducts: {Pt(NH2C2H4NH2)2}(2+); formation on mixing of a cold soln. of K2(PtCl4) in H2O with pure 1,2-diaminoethane monohydrate in H2O; filtration;; washing with cold H2O, then with alcohol; drying in air;;
in methanol Kinetics; reduction of Pt(IV)-complex by Pt(II)-complex in MeOH in the presence of chloride ions depending on temperature (25, 35, 45°C); monitored by UV-spectroscopy;
