Aggregation of platinum-containing complexes SAF-08, SAF-39 and SAF-40 was studied by 1H and 195Pt NMR spectroscopy in CDCl3 solution. The analysis of experimental data was carried out using four models of self-Association. It is found that the self-association constants slightly depend on the type of halogen atom associated with platinum, while the aggregation is anti-cooperative in nature. Studies have shown that 195Pt NMR can be used to quantify aggregation and is therefore applicable to most platinum-containing complexes.
