cis-Dichloridobis(diethyl sulfide-S)platinum(II) at 295 and 150 K

C. Hansson

Abstract: The title compound, cis-[PtCl₂(C₄H₁₀S)₂], crystallizes in the space group P2₁/n with pseudo-square-planar coordination geometry. The orientation of the ethyl groups on the S atoms is staggered with respect to the coordination plane, giving the complex approximate C_2v symmetry. The complex does not form dimeric packing units with short PtS intradimeric distances as seen in some related complexes, but instead displays C-HCl interactions in three dimensions. These C-HCl-Pt contacts are compared with those of related compounds reported in the Cambridge Structural Database, which show a frequency maximum in the range 120-170° for the C-HCl angle.

Formula: [PtCl₂(C₄H₁₀S)₂] and [PtCl₂(C₄H₁₀S)₂]
