Oxidation of phenyl PtII complexes K[(dpms)PtIIPh2], 1, (dpms)PtIIPh(MeOH), 2, (dpms)PtIIPh(OH2), 3, and methyl PtII complex (dpms)PtIIMe(NH2Ph), 6, with O2 in aqueous or methanol solutions under ambient conditions leads to corresponding (dpms)PtIVR(X)OH complexes (R = X = Ph, 7; R = Ph, X = OH, 8; R = Ph, X = OMe, 9; R = Me, X = NHPh; 11; dpms = di(2-pyridyl)methanesulfonate). Complexes 7–9 could be isolated in high yield. Complex 11 as well as its phenyl analogue (dpms)PtIVPh(NHPh)OH, 10 can be prepared in high yield by oxidation of corresponding (dpms)PtIIR(NH2Ph) with H2O2 in methanol. Phenyl PtII complexes (dpms)PtIIPh(HX) derived from HX = aniline and DMSO, 4 and 5, respectively, are inert toward O2. The rate of oxidation of 1–5 with O2 decreases in the order 1 > 3 ~ 2 » 4, and 5 is unreactive. Methyl analogues are significantly more reactive compared with their phenyl counterparts. Proposed mechanism of oxidation with O2 includes formation of anionic species (dpms)PtIIR(X)– responsible for reaction with dioxygen. Attempts at C–O and C–N reductive elimination from phenyl PtIV complexes 7–10 do not lead to phenyl derivatives PhX at 80–100 °C, consistent with the results of the DFT estimates of corresponding activation barriers, ΔG0 exceeding 28 kcal/mol.Key words: platinum phenyl complexes, oxidation, dioxygen, aqueous solution, mechanism.

We report on a process in which CuO nanopowder was produced in a high yield by adopting ultrasonic in aqueous solution. In our experiment, CuCl2 solution was reacted with NaOH solution and NaNO2, at ambient conditions applying ultrasonic for 5 min. Precipitation was performed by varying the molar ratios of NaOH/CuCl2 and NaNO2/CuCl2. CuO nanoparticles of ~ 5 nm and spherical shape were obtained at the NaOH/CuCl2 of 2.0 and the NaNO2/CuCl2 of 0.097. Without ultrasonication, an amorphous phase was formed at these conditions. This indicates that sonochemical reaction facilitates direct formation of the nanosized CuO particles. In addition, the particle morphology varied from sphere through ellipsoid to needle forms depending on pH. In thick films prepared with the CuO powder for gas sensing, the maximum CO gas sensitivity reached 93 % at the temperature of 250 °C and depended linearly on CO concentration in log scale over the range of 10 ~ 104 ppm.
