Unsaturated σ-hydrocarbyl transition-metal complexes. Part 4. Crystal and molecular structure of trans-chlorobis(diethylphenylphosphine)-(phenylethynyl)platinum(II) and comments on the relative trans influence of various carbon ligands

Abstract

The molecular structure of trans-[PtCl(C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh)(PEt2Ph)2] has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21, with a= 12.359(3), b= 13.015(3), c= 9.031(2)Å, β= 101.65(2)°, and Z= 2. The structure has been solved by the heavy-atom method and refined by full-matrix least squares to R 0.046 for 1 877 diffractometric intensity data. The crystals contain discrete molecules in which the platinum coordination is square planar. The phenylethynyl group is non-linear, with a Pt–C[triple bond, length half m-dash]C angle of 163(2)°. Selected bond lengths are Pt–Cl 2.407(5) and Pt–C 1.98(2)Å. The structural trans influences of C[triple bond, length half m-dash]CPh, CH[double bond, length half m-dash]CH2, and CH2SiMe3 ligands in platinum(II) complexes are compared; there is only a small dependence on hybridization at the ligating carbon atom.
