Platinum(I) dimer chemistry: distortion of co-ordination geometry in [Pt2Br2(µ-CO)(PPh3)3]
Abstract
X-Ray crystal structure determination and spectroscopic measurements on the title compound show it to have an asymmetrically bridging CO ligand which is believed to lead to some valence disproportion in contrast to its precursor [Pt2Br4(CO)2]2–.
