The title complex, [PtCl2(C18H40P2)], contains a PtII center in an approximately square-planar geometry [cis angle range = 88.09 (3)-91.39 (3)°; twist angle = 1.19 (5)°]. The Pt-P bond lengths of 2.2536 (8) and 2.2513 (8) Å and the Pt-Cl bond lengths of 2.3750 (8) and 2.3588 (8) Å are normal. This crystal form is a polymorph of a structure reported previously [Harada, Kai, Yasuoka & Kasai (1976). Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn, 49, 3472-3477].
Pt(COD)Cl2, COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, was synthesized according to the published procedure (McDermott et al., 1976). Under an atmosphere of dinitrogen, bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane (dtbpe) (212 mg, 0.67 mmol) was added to a light yellow suspension of Pt(COD)Cl2 (250 mg, 0.67 mmol) in THF (25 ml). The reaction mixture was heated with stirring for 12 h at 373 K. After complete conversion to (I) was verified by 31P NMR spectroscopy, the volatiles (THF, COD) were removed in vacuo, leaving the white powdery product (343.4 mg, 0.59 mmol) in 88% yield. Crystals of (I) were grown by vapor diffusion of hexanes into THF.
The H-atoms were included in the refinements at geometrically idealized positions with C—H distances 0.98 and 0.99 Å for CH3 and CH2 type H-atoms, respectively; Uiso values were 1.5Ueq and 1.2Ueq of the carrier atoms for the methyl and CH2 groups, respectively. The final difference map showed a residual electron density in the vicinity of H31A atom and was chemically meaningless.

Experimental. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 20 °C): δ 1.5 (d, 3JHP = 14.1 Hz, 36 H, -(CH3)3), 1.9 (d, 2JHP = 16 Hz, 4 H, -CH2-); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 20 °C): δ 24.5 (d, 1JCP = 33 Hz, -CH2-), 30.4 (s, -(CH3)3), 37.6 (d, 1JCP = 30 Hz, -C-); 31P NMR (CDCl3, 20 °C): δ 75.7 (s, with platinum satellites 1JPPt = 3643.2 Hz). |
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 > σ(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. |

One of the most commonly used Pt(0) precursors, Pt(COD)2, COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, is generally synthesized by the reduction of platinumdichlorides, like Pt(COD)Cl2, with Li2(COT), COT = cyclooctatetraene (Green et al., 1977; Crascall & Spencer, 1990), or with SmI2 (Ogoshi et al., 2004). The latter reduction with 20 equivalents of SmI2 afforded Pt(COD)2 in moderate yields (45% average). After addition of chelating ligand 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphino)ethane (dtbpe) to the SmI2 reduction product, it was observed that some PtII remained, based on the formation of the title compound, Pt(dtbpe)Cl2 (I). An independent synthesis of (I) was performed to support these observations, in which dtbpe was added directly to Pt(COD)Cl2 (see experimental section). The resulting pure product in 88% yield was characterized by 1H, 13C, 31P NMR spectroscopies and by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
