In order to characterize the solid obtained in the above-de-
scribed synthesis of 1 (Section 2.3), attempts were made to dis-
solve the solid in a variety of solvents, but no appreciable
dissolution occurred. We did observe, however, that when the col-
orless solid was heated in DMF, the powder was consumed and the
solution acquired a yellow color. The solution was analyzed by ESI-
MS (positive mode) m/z = 527.5 ([1-(NH2C6H11)+Cl]+, Calc. 527.2).
After cooling to room temperature, yellow prisms deposited and
were analyzed by X-ray crystallography as described in
Section 2.11.2.
2.9. Synthesis of [Pt(NH2C6H11)4]I2 (5)
The reaction was carried out on the same scale as described
above for the synthesis of 3, using potassium iodide (3.2 g,
19.27 mmol) instead of potassium bromide. The product was iso-
lated as a colorless solid. Yield: 384 mg, 94%. M.p. 177–180 °C
(decomposition to orange liquid, slight yellowing of the solid ob-
served beginning at 167 °C). Unlike 1 and 3, 5 is readily soluble
in DMF at room temperature. 1H NMR (DMF-d7, 500 MHz): d 5.24

2.6. Synthesis of trans-[Pt(NH2C6H11)2Cl2] (2)
Compound 1 (121 mg, 0.18 mmol) was suspended in DMF
(15 mL). The mixture was sonicated to disperse the solid and
heated to 120 °C for 3 h. After this time, the reaction mixture
was a homogenous yellow solution. The solution was concentrated
to dryness and the remaining residue was dissolved in a minimal
amount of hot CH2Cl2. Addition of hot hexanes followed by cooling
to ꢀ40 °C induced crystallization. The off-white crystalline solid
was collected by filtration and washed with hexanes and diethyl
ether. Yield: 64 mg, 75%. M.p. 244–245 °C (decomposition to black
solid). 1H NMR (DMF-d7, 500 MHz): d 4.29 (s, 2H), 2.80 (s, 1H), 2.34

2.10. Synthesis of trans-[Pt(NH2C6H11)2I2] (6)
The reaction was carried out as described above for the synthe-
ses of 2 and 4 except that 359 mg (0.42 mmol) of 5 were used. The
product was isolated as a yellow crystalline solid. Yield: 151 mg,
55%. M.p. 206–208 °C (decomposition to black liquid). The charac-
terization is identical to that reported in Section 2.4 for the synthe-
2.7. Synthesis of [Pt(NH2C6H11)4]Br2 (3)
Potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) (200 mg, 0.48 mmol) was
dissolved in water (5 mL) and to the resulting red solution was
added potassium bromide (2.3 g, 19.27 mmol). After heating to
100 °C for 1 h, the solution became a deep orange color, signifying
the formation of the tetrabromoplatinate(II) anion. Cyclohexyl-
amine (1 mL, 8.7 mmol) was added to the hot solution and a yellow
solid immediately began to precipitate. The mixture was stirred at
100 °C for 1 h, after which time the reaction mixture comprised a
white precipitate suspended in a colorless solution. The mixture
was removed from heat and cooled to 4 °C overnight. The off-white
solid was collected by filtration and washed with cold water and
cold ethanol to afford a white solid. Yield: 299 mg, 83%. M.p.
205–207 °C (decomposition to black solid). As with compound 1,
the solid is insoluble, precluding NMR characterization. With gen-
tle heating (not above 50 °C) enough material dissolved to allow
for characterization by mass spectrometry without substantial
conversion to 4. ESI-MS (positive mode) m/z = 100.1 ([NH3C6H11]+,

2.11. X-ray crystallography
Single crystals were grown as described below, mounted on a
nylon cryoloop in Paratone oil, and cooled to 100 K under a stream
of nitrogen. A Bruker APEX CCD X-ray diffractometer controlled by
the APEX2 software [16] was used to collect the diffraction of graph-
ite-monochromated Mo K
a radiation (k = 0.71073 Å) from the
crystal. The data were integrated with SAINT [17] and absorption,
Lorentz, and polarization corrections were calculated by SADABS
[18]. Space group determination was carried out by analyzing the
metric symmetry and systematic absences of the diffraction pat-
tern with XPREP [19]. Using the SHELXTL-97 software package
[20,21], structures were solved by either Patterson or direct meth-
ods and refined against F2. Refinement was carried out using stan-
dard procedures [22]. All atoms, including hydrogen, were located
in the difference Fourier map during refinement. Hydrogen atoms
were placed at calculated positions and refined with their isotropic
displacement parameters (Uiso) set equal to 1.5, for terminal CH3
groups, or 1.2, for secondary and tertiary carbons and nitrogens,
times the Uiso of the atom to which they are attached. Specific
refinement details are reported below and CIF data are provided
for all structures in the Supplementary data along with tables of
bond lengths and angles. All structures have been deposited in
the Cambridge Structural Database. Pertinent crystallographic
parameters are collected in Table 1. All structures were checked
for missed higher symmetry and twinning with PLATON [23] and

The reaction was carried out as described above for the synthe-
sis of 2 except that 290 mg (0.39 mmol) of 3 were used. The prod-
uct was isolated as a pale yellow crystalline solid. Yield: 114 mg,
54%. M.p. 224–225 °C (decomposition to black liquid). 1H NMR
