([eta]4-Cycloocta-1,5-diene)diiodidoplatinum(II)

M.-H. Thibault and F.-G. Fontaine

Abstract: The monoclinic title complex, [PtI2(C8H12)], characterized by a twisted cyclooctadiene ring, is similar to its Cl and Br orthorhombic homologues. The observed Pt-I bond distances of 2.6094 (5) and 2.6130 (5) Å are in the expected range for PtI2 complexes. The C=C double bonds in the molecule differ significantly [1.373 (10) and 1.403 (10) Å]. As expected for a platinum(II) complex, the PtII atom is in a square-planar environment ([Sigma]Pt[alpha]= 359.71°).
