Figure 2
A view of the columnar structure of (I). Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 50% probability level. Black dashed lines between Pt and Cl atoms indicate the PtII⋯Cl contacts. The hollow Cl ellipsoids and the hollow lines between Pt and Cl atoms represent the disordered structure of the Pt—Cl chain. Hydrogen bonds are indicated by blue dashed lines. The azobenzene-derived counter-ions, except for atoms C3 and C12, have been omitted for clarity. [Symmetry codes: (i) −x, −y, −z; (ii) x, y + 1, z; (iii) −x + 1, y, −z + .] |
