Crystal and molecular structure of cis-chloro(3-chloro-1,1,3,3-tetrafluoropropan-2-one)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II)

Abstract

Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, with a= 20.45 ± 0.02, b= 1 8.66 ± 0.02, c= 10.43 ± 0.01 Å, β= 114.0 ± 0.4°. The structure was solved by conventional Patterson and Fourier techniques and refined by block-diagonal least-squares analysis of counter intensities to R 0.095 for 3 956 reflections. Important bond lengths are Pt–P (trans to C) 2.362(5), Pt–P (trans to Cl) 2.247(5), Pt–Cl 2.349(6), and Pt–C 2.06(2)Å.
