Perchlorate salts are known to be explosive oxidizers, and their use warrants extra caution. Sodium perchlorate in particular is a known irritant and targets human tissue and organs, viz. the thyroid and blood. † Thiourea and its substituted derivatives are suspected carcinogens and the necessary s

Abstract
A series of dinuclear platinum^II^ complexes of the type [{trans‐Pt(H~2~O)(NH~3~)~2~}~2~‐NH~2~(CH~2~)~n~H~2~N]^4+^ (where n = 2, 3, 4, and 6) were synthesized to investigate the influence of the bridging diamine linker on the reactivity of the platinum centers. The p__K__~a~ values were determined, and the rates of substitution of the aqua moieties by a series of neutral nucleophiles viz. thiourea, 1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐thiourea, and 1,1,3,3‐tetramethyl‐2‐thiourea were studied as a function of concentration and temperature. All reactions studied gave excellent fits to a single exponential and obeyed the simple rate law, k~obs~=k~2~[Nu]. Negative activation entropies support an associative mode of substitution. The results obtained suggest that the rate of substitution is definitely influenced by the length of the diamine chain, with the rate of substitution decreasing as the length of the diamine chain increases. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
