Abstract:  The reaction of РгL'₂Сl₄ and PtL'₂'Cl₄ complexes with thiourea (L' = = N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl thiourea and L" = N,N' -ethylene thiourea) was studied. An interaction of those complexes with thiourea yields Pt(II) comple­xes with this ligand. The possible course of substitution and redox processes was inferred indirectly from chemical changes and the reaction products. Differences in the redox changes of Pt(IV) and Cu(II) complexes after entering of thiourea the inner sphere of complexes are given in the connection with the question of mutual influence of ligands.
