Novel bonding modes in metallo–dithiadiazolyl complexes: preparation and crystal structures of [Pt(SNCPhNS-S,S)(PPh3)2]·MeCN and [Pt3(µ-SNCPhNS-S,S)2(PPh3)4]·2PhMe
Abstract
Reaction of [Pt(PPh3)3] with (Ph[graphic omitted])2 in MeCN leads to [Pt(SNCPhNS-S-S,S)(PPh3)2]·MeCN, which decomposes in toluene to give a novel trimetallic species, [Pt3(µ-SNCPhNS-S,S)2(PPh3)4]; the structures of both compounds are reported.
