Introduction
Minor, often undetectable, tautomeric structures are frequently
implicated as putative reaction intermediates in solution so it is
important to find ways of stabilizing them to permit examination
of their properties. In the case of carboxylic acid amides, the
amide (la) rather than iminol (lb) tautomeric structure is
'NH2

with added acidwater. The
contribution of canonical form 3b in [dienPtOCMeNHz](CF~SO3)z
was
revealed by the inequivalence in acetone-d6 at 20 "C of the two amide
NH protons (R = Me, 8.93, 8.49 ppm (amide NH, 2H) versus TMS)
resulting from restricted rotation about the partial C=N amide bond.

3a = 4a K7 = 3 (M = dienPt(II), R = m e , )
3a = 4b K9 = 30 (M = dienPt(II), R = Me)
an estimate for R = Me of K8 = [4b/4a] in acetone is the ratio
KdK7 = 10, assuming that K7 is similar for R = Me and R =
NMez. This is likely to be an underestimate because 4a (R =
Me) is expected to be less stable than 4a (R = NMez) and hence
the equilibrium constant K8 should be larger, possibly ? lo3 as
estimated3for the respective tautomers of protonated free amides
2a and 2b. Alternatively, using the measured acidities in water
of [dienF"H2C0NMe2l2+ versus [dienPtNH==C(OH)Mel2+(5.6
vs 3.8, 20 "C, I = 0.025 M vs 0.1 M),5 and by assuming the
conjugate bases [dienPtNHCOR]+ (R = Me, NMe2) have similar
amide electronic structures,14 the two pK, units difference in
acidities suggests K8 loz.

Experimental Section
NMR spectra ('H, 13C)were recorded for all compounds on a Varian
Gemini 300 MHz NMR spectrometer for acetoned6 or DMSO-&
solutions (at 293 K unless otherwise stated) containing tetramethylsilane
as intemal standard. The platinum compounds were synthesized from

base by cation exchange chromatography on SP-C25 sephadex resin
using aqueous Tris buffer (0.1 M, pH 8.5) containing N d 0 3 (0.10.5 M). The product was protonated in 0.1 M HNo3 and isolated solid
or generated directly in DMSO-& solution by addition of CF3SO3H.
X-ray Data Collection and Structure Refmement. Crystals of
[P~(C~HI~N~)(C~H~NZO)](CF$~~)~
were obtained from an acetonediethyl ether solution. A colorless crystal was mounted on a Rigaku
AFC6R diffractometer equipped with a graphite monochromator and
attached to a Rigaku RU-200B rotating anode X-ray generator with a
copper target. Twenty reflections were located and indexed on a
primitive orthorhombic cell and Laue mmm symmetry was confiied.
Accurate lattice parameters were determined by least-squares analysis
of the setting angles of 25 reflections 81 < 28 < 93" using L(Cu Kal)
