Tetra-[mu]3-bromido-tetrakis[trimethylplatinum(IV)]

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

Abstract: The title complex, [Pt4Br4(CH3)12], the tetramer of trimethylplatinum(IV) bromide, reveals a distorted cubane-like structure and is disposed about a crystallographic mirror plane passing through two Pt atoms, two Br atoms and two methyl groups parallel to the ac plane. The tetrameric complex displays pseudo-cubic molecular symmetry, \\overline{4}3m. The coordination geometry around each Pt centre is distorted octahedral. The tetrameric units in the crystal structure are packed by hydrophobic interactions or van der Waals contacts.
