On the nature of the short Pt–Tl bonds in model compounds [H5Pt–TlHn]n−
Abstract
RHF, DFT and MP2 calculations are reported for the compounds [H5Pt–TlHn]n−, n = 0–2. These serve as analogues for the experimentally known [(NC)5Pt–Tl(CN)n]n−-species. The very short bond between platinum and thallium is discussed.
