-pyridine-2-thiolato)-
4S:N;N:S-bis[(pyridine-2-thiolato-
S)(2-pyridylphenyl-
2N,C2)platinum(III)](Pt-Pt): the non-solvated and acetonitrile-solvated formsAbstract: The title dinuclear platinum(III) complex, [Pt2(C11H8N)2(C5H4NS)4], forms two crystal structures, viz. the non-solvated and acetonitrile-solvated (C2H3N) forms. For both forms, two (2-pyridylphenyl)platinum units are bridged by two pyridine-2-thiolate (pyt) anions in a head-to-tail configuration, and the other two pyridine-2-thiolate anions occupy the axial position, coordinated through their S atoms. The most remarkable difference between the two forms is the orientation of the axial monodentate ligands. Those for the solvated form are located over the 2-pyridylphenyl ligands, being related by a twofold axis which lies through the centre of the Pt-Pt bond, while the axial pyt ligands for the non-solvated form are oriented irregularly, which is attributable to the dimeric arrangement in the crystal.
Formula: [Pt2(C11H8N)2(C5H4NS)4] and [Pt2(C11H8N)2(C5H4NS)4]·C2H3N

If the supplementary material that you require is not shown in the list above, it may only be available in our hard-copy archive. However, our policy is to progressively digitize old hard-copy supplementary documents where possible.
Please help us to work towards this goal by completing the form below. This will register your wish to receive a supplementary document, which we shall scan to create a PDF and then make available via the web to you and to other requestors in the future.
