2P,P')platinum(II) bis(tetrafluoridoborate)The title complex, [Pt(C16H18P2)2](BF4)2, possesses a crystallographically imposed center of symmetry occupied by a PtII ion, which is coordinated by four P atoms from two 1,4-diphenyl-1,4-diphosphacyclohexane ligands in a distorted square-planar geometry.
The synthesis of (I) was completed through reaction of the previously reported chloride salt with an excess of AgBF4, followed by filtration to remove the solid AgCl (Mason et al., 2006, Brooks et al., 1989). Crystals where grown by slow vapor diffusion of diethylether into a saturated chloroform solution of (I).
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H distances in the range of 0.93–0.97 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R–factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R–factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R–factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The crystal structure of (I) consists of [Pt(C16H18P2)2]2+ cations and BF4− anions (Fig. 1). The cation shows a distorted square planar geometry around the metal center with two non-coordinating BF4− anions. The P—Pt—P bite angle observed in the structure is 72.908 (13)°. Additionally, the phenyl substituents on the phosphorus atoms are arranged in a parallel fashion, with a distance between the center of the phenyl rings of 3.727 Å and a dihedral angle of 2.15 (4)° between the rings. The parallel arrangement of phenyl rings is not, however, repeated in the unit cell between individual molecules. The parallel arrangement of the phenyl rings within the molecule was also observed in the previously reported analogous PtII an Pd(II) chloride complexes (Mason et al., 2006).
