[(1,2,5,6-)-1,3,5,7-Cyclooctatetraene]iodido(methyl)platinum(II)

A.-R. Song, I.-C. Hwang and K. Ha

Abstract: In the title complex, [Pt(CH₃)I(C₈H₈)], the Pt^II centre lies in a square-planar environment defined by the I and methyl C atoms and the mid-points of the two -coordinated double bonds of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene. Because of the different trans influences of the I atom and the methyl group, the Pt-C bonds trans to the methyl group are longer than those trans to the I atom.
