A diplatium (0) complex with three bridging dppm ligands. The X-ray structure anylysis of [Pt2(µ-dppm)3].2C6H6(dppm = Ph2PCH2PPh2)
Abstract
X-Ray diffraction study of the title compound has shown that [Pt2(µ-Ph2PCH2)3] adopts a ‘manxane’-type (bicyclo[3.3.3]undecane-type) structure, with trigonal planar co-ordination of the platinum atoms and approximate C3h molecular symmetry.
