— Recent reports that have appeared in the literature concerning the reactions in aqueous media of hydroxyl radical with some transition‐metal compounds containing bound organic molecules are discussed and experimental results on the reactions of hydroxyl radical with some platinum complex ions are presented. Emphasis is placed on the comparison of the behavior of the free ligand relative to that of the complexed and protonated forms. The occurrence of metal‐ion complexation can modify to varying degrees the reactivity of organic entities towards hydroxyl radical and the subsequent behavior of the products. The influence of the metal center is considered to involve its Lewis acidity, π‐bonding capabilities as well as features such as its formal oxidation state.
