2P,P']platinum(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate) dichloromethane disolvateaDepartment of Chemistry, University of the Free State, PO Box 339, Bloemfontein 9300, South Africa
Correspondence e-mail: engelbrechti@ufs.ac.za
The PtII atom in the title compound, [Pt(C29H31NP2)2](PF6)2·2CH2Cl2, is coordinated by four P atoms from two bis(diphenylphosphanyl)pentylamine ligands with an average Pt-P distance of 2.300 (1) Å. The coordination around the PtII atom shows a highly distorted square-planar geometry, as evidenced by the P-Pt-P bite angles of 70.45 (3) and 70.64 (3)°. The asymmetric unit contains two hexafluoridophosphate ions, the metal complex and two dichloromethane solvent molecules. One of the chloride atoms of one of the dichloromethane molecules is disordered over two sites in a 0.515 (3):0.485 (3) ratio. C-H
F hydrogen bonds stabilize the crystal packing.
