Tetra-n-butylammonium bis(1,1-dicyanoethylene-2,2-dithiolato)platinum(II)

N. Kanganga, K. R. Mann and D. E. Janzen

Abstract: In the title compound, (C₁₆H₃₆N)₂[Pt(C₄N₂S₂)₂], the Pt^II center adopts a distorted square-planar geometry due to the 4-membered chelate rings formed by coordination to the S atoms of the 1,1-dicyanoethylene-2,2-dithiolate (i-mnt) ligands [bite angle 74.35 (4)°]. The bond distances in the coordinated i-mnt ligands indicate some delocalization of the -system.
