Redetermination of catena-poly[[[bis(ethylenediamine)platinum(II)]-[mu]-chloro-[bis(ethylenediamine)platinum(IV)]-[mu]-chloro] tetrakis(hexafluorophosphate)]

N. Matsushita

Abstract: The structure of the title compound, {[PtII/IVCl(C2H8N2)2](PF6)2}n or [PtII(C2H8N2)2][PtIVCl2(C2H8N2)2](PF6)4, has been redetermined [Matsushita (1993). Synth. Met. 56, 3401-3406] from image-plate data. No superstructure was observed, in contrast to the situation in related compounds. The linear chain structure consists of square-planar [Pt(en)2]2+ and elongated octahedral trans-[PtCl2(en)2]2+ cations (en is ethylenediamine) stacked alternately, bridged by the Cl atoms, along the b axis. The Pt atom is located on an inversion centre and the Cl atom (site symmetry 2) is disordered over two sites, resulting in PtIV-Cl and PtII...Cl bond distances of 2.327  (4) and 3.191  (4)  Å, respectively. The [delta] structural parameter, indicating the mixed-valence state of the Pt atoms, is 0.729.
