Using ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, primary photophysical processes in aqueous and acetonitrile solutions of the trans,trans,trans-[Ptiv (N3)2(py)2(OH)2] complex, which is interesting as a potential light-activated anticancer drug, were investigated. A mechanism for early photoprocesses has been proposed, including ultrafast intersystem crossing and reductive dissociation.
