Platinum(II) compounds

Cisplatin is a chemical compound with formula cis-. It is a coordination complex of platinum that is used as a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of cancers. These include testicular cancer, ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, bladder cancer, head and neck cancer, esophageal cancer, lung cancer, mesothelioma, brain tumors and neuroblastoma. It is given by injection into a vein.

Carboplatin, sold under the brand name Paraplatin among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of forms of cancer. This includes ovarian cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancer, brain cancer, and neuroblastoma. It is administered by injection into a vein sometimes via a port.

Oxaliplatin, sold under the brand name Eloxatin among others, is a cancer medication (platinum-based antineoplastic class) used to treat colorectal cancer. It is given by infusion into a vein.

'''trans-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II)' is the trans isomer of the coordination complex with the formula trans-PtCl2(NH3)2, sometimes called transplatin''. It is a yellow solid with low solubility in water but good solubility in dimethylformamide. The existence of two isomers of PtCl2(NH3)2 led Alfred Werner to propose square planar molecular geometry. It belongs to the molecular symmetry point group D2h.

Nedaplatin, sold in Japan as Aqupla (see External Links), is a platinum-based chemotherapy agent. It is toxic to DNA, causing damage to DNA, limiting DNA repair and ultimately limiting DNA synthesis, limiting the propagation of cancer cells.

Platinocyanide, also known as tetracyanoplatinate (IUPAC), cyanoplatinate, or platinocyanate, is a polyatomic ion with the molecular formula [Pt(CN)4]2−. The name also applies to compounds containing this ion, which are salts of the hypothetical platinocyanic acid (sometimes platinocyanhydric acid).
