Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of an anionic heteronuclear metallamacrocyclic triangle†
Abstract
trans-[Pt{CC(Ar)C
CH}2(PMe3)2]
(Ar = C6Me4-3,4,5,6)
(1) reacts with PPN[Au(acac)2]
(Hacac =
C)2}3]
(2) the crystal structure of which showed the anions as quasi equilateral triangles stacked parallel to each other through C–H⋯Au interactions, resulting in channels of rhombic cross-section.
