Abstract

Reaction of [Pt(cod)Cl2] (cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) with [NEt4]2[anti-B18H20 ] or with [syn-B18H22] and tmnda (tmnda = N,N,N[hair space]′ ,N[hair space]′-tetramethylnaphthalene-1,8-diamine) resulted in the generation of [Pt(anti-B18H20)2]2 - or [Pt(syn-B18H20)2]2 - dianions, for which intramolecular steric crowding imposes rigid slab structures, and which have unusual intimately packed anion-layer structures in their salts in the solid state.
