Abstract

The crystal structure of bis(tiethylphosphine)(hexakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene) platimum, C24H30F18P2Pt, has been determined. The crystals are monoclinic: space groupP21/n,a = 9.937(6),b = 30.89(1),c= 11.398(8) Å, β = 117.15(3) ° andZ = 4. X-ray data were collected by counter methods using MoKα radiation, and least-squares refinement led toR = 0.057 for the 2154 independent reflexions for which ¦F0¦2> 3σ(¦F0¦2). The molecule has a 1,2-hapto structure, with the platinum atom bonded to only two carbon atoms of the hexakis(trifluoromethyl)benzene ring. The planarity of this ring is destroyed as a result of the coordination and there is an alternation of long and short bonds around the ring. The mean Pt—C bond length is 2.14(2) Å.
