Synthesis, crystal structure and Raman spectrum of K₂[(Pt₂)(HPO₄)₄(H₂O)₂] containing (Pt₂)⁶⁺ ions

K. Panagiotidis and R. Glaum

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the acid platinum phosphate dipotassium di--hydrogenphosphato-bis[aquaplatinum(III)](Pt-Pt), K₂[Pt₂(HPO₄)₄(H₂O)₂], the (Pt₂)⁶⁺ dumbbells within the paddle-wheel complex show Pt-Pt distances of 2.4944 (5) and 2.4892 (5) Å. The pottassium ions are seven-fold coordinated by hydrogenphosphate groups. In the crystal, O-HO hydrogen bonds help to establish the packing. The Raman spectrum was recorded.
