¹⁹⁵ Pt NMR and DFT computational methods as tools towards the understanding of speciation and hydration/solvation of [PtX ₆ ] ²⁻ (X = Cl ⁻ , Br ⁻ ) anions in solution

195Pt NMR together with DFT calculations and MD simulations, offer a powerful toolkit with which to probe the hydration shells of the [PtCl6]2- anions, which may lead to a more profound understanding of the solute-solvent interactions of such complexes.
