G. Roviello, F. Ruffo and A. Tuzi

Abstract: The title compound, [Pt(C₇H₇O)₂(C₈H₁₂)], is a precursor to aryl Pt^II complexes containing N or P ligands, which are currently being investigated due to their possible role in C-H and C-C bond formation. The coordination geometry around the Pt atom is square planar, while the coordinated cycloocta-1,5-diene ligand adopts a twist-boat conformation.
