Abstract

Crystals of PtCl2(PPh2)(CH2)2(PPh2) (1), produced from attempts to prepare hydridochloroplatinum complexes, are monoclinic, space groupP2 1 /c, with four molecules in a unit cell of dimensionsa=11.478(3),b=13.263(2)c=16.343(3) Å, and β=99.00(2)°. The structure was solved by the heavy-atom method and refined by block-diagonal least-squares calculations with anisotropicthermal parameters;R=0.048 andR′=0.061 for 1843 observed reflections. The crystal structure contains discrete well-resolved molecules. The Pt atom has distorted square-planar coordination with Pt-P 2.208(6), Pt-Cl 2.355 and 2.341(6) Å distances, and Cl-Pt-Cl 90.2(2) and P-Pt-P 86.3(2)° angles.
