The one-dimensional chain structure of [Cu(en)2Pt(CN)4] (en is ethylenediamine)

T. Akitsu and Y. Einaga

Abstract: The title compound, catena-poly[di-[mu]-cyano-1:2[kappa]2C:N;1:2'[kappa]2C:N-dicyano-1-[kappa]2C-bis(ethylenediamine-2[kappa]2N,N')platinum(II)copper(II)], [CuPt(CN)4(C2H8N2)2]n, (I), consists of one-dimensional chains running along the [111] direction. Both Cu and Pt atoms are located on centres of symmetry in an alternating array of [Cu(en)2]2+ (en is ethylenediamine) and [Pt(CN)4]2- units. The Pt-C coordination bond distances of 1.985 (4) and 1.995 (4) Å are longer than those of an analogous NiII complex. Moreover, due to Jahn-Teller distortion, the axial Cu-N bond distance of 2.562 (5) Å is longer than the equatorial ones of 2.014 (4) and 2.017 (4) Å.
