Crystal structure of bis(pentafluorobenzenethiolato)bis(tributylphosphine)platinum(II)

Abstract

The crystal of bis(pentafluorobenzenethiolato)bis(tributylphosphine)platinum(II) has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected photographically. The crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, with unit-cell parameters a= 22·077(9), b= 12·120(3), c= 16·027(7)Å, β= 100° 29(5)′. The molecule is approximately square planar with the pentafluorothiophenolato-ligands in the trans-configuration, the platinum atom being 0·28 Å out of the plane of the sulphur and phosphorus atoms.
