The Crystal and Molecular Structure of Dichloro[1,3-bis(di-t-butylphosphino)propane]platinum(II) Chlorobenzene Solvate

Abstract
X-Ray crystal structure analysis of [PtCl2{(t-Bu)2P(CH2)3P(t-Bu)2}]·0.5C6H5Cl has been carried out. Crystals belong to monoclinic system: a=11.532(2), b=14.984(5), c=16.455(4) Å, β=106.96(2)°, space group P21/c with Z=4. The structure, solved by the heavy-atom method, has been refined anisotropically by least-squares procedure to R=0.056 for 5019 non-zero reflections. The coordination around the platinum atom is approximately square-planar, however, it showed a slight deviation toward the tetrahedral geometry; Pt–P=2.281(3) and 2.282(3), Pt–Cl=2.359(3) and 2.362(3) Å, P–Pt–P=99.05(9) and Cl–Pt–Cl=83.18(11)°.
