cis-{trans-1,2-Bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzamido]cyclohexane-²P,P'}dichloroplatinum(II) chloroform trisolvate

S. Burger, B. Therrien and G. Süss-Fink

Abstract: The two P atoms in the square-planar title complex, [PtCl₂(C₄₄H₄₀N₂O₂P₂)]·3CHCl₃, adopt a cis configuration, forming a 13-membered metallacycle. The H atoms of the amide functions are oriented towards the Cl atoms, whereas the carbonyl groups interact with the solvent chloroform molecules by means of hydrogen bonds.
