Abstract
A multi-step experiment has been developed for the inorganic chemistry laboratory in which students synthesize and characterize various bimetallic platinum complexes. Three 3-hr lab periods are required for the entire experimental/characterization process. Experimental techniques are not elaborate, but require the exclusion of oxygen with a nitrogen atmosphere as well as adequate hood ventilation. The isolated compounds are identified and characterized using infrared spectroscopy and multinuclear NMR.
