The 3.66I0.34(C12H8N2)]·0.5(Cl0.13I1.87), contains a neutral PtIV complex and one half of a halogen molecule. The PtIV ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment by two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and Cl or I atoms. The of the structure and the EDX analysis indicate that the compound is a in which there is some substitution of Cl for I and vice versa. The chemical formula of the pure state of the compound would have been [PtCl4(C12H8N2)]·0.5I2. In the analysed crystal, two Cl atoms are partially (ca 25% and 9%) replaced by I atoms, and the I2 molecule has a minor component modelled as ICl. As a result of the disorder, the different trans effects of the N and Cl/I atoms are not distinct. The complex displays intermolecular π–π interactions between the six-membered rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.771 (4) Å. There are also weak intramolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.

To a solution of [PtCl4(C12H8N2)].H2O (0.0821 g, 0.153 mmol) in H2O (20 ml) was added KI (0.1318 g, 0.794 mmol), and stirred for 2 h at room temperature. The precipitate was separated by filtration and washed with water (20 ml) and MeOH (20 ml) and dried under vacuum, to give a dark brown powder (0.0846 g). Black crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were isolated from an acetone solution of the reaction products. EDX analysis (%atom): Cl 62.30%, I 25.18%, Pt 12.52%.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms [C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)]. The disordered Cl5 atom was refined isotropically. Eight restraints instructions were used for the

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains a neutral PtIV complex and one half-molecule of iodine which includes some Cl atoms (ca 6%). The PtIV ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment by two N atoms of the 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and Cl or I atoms. The chemical formula of the pure state of the title compound would have been [PtCl4(C12H8N2)].0.5I2. In the particular crystal of the compound used, two Cl atoms (Cl3 and Cl4) are partially (ca 25% and 9%, respectively) displaced by the I atoms (I3 and I4) through the substitution reaction between the Cl- and I- ligand, and the I2 molecule also appears to have a minor component, that is I—Cl (Fig. 1 and 2). The chemical formula which resulted from the refinement of the structure was [PtCl3.66I0.34(C12H8N2)].0.5(Cl0.13I1.87), and in this case the ratio of the Cl atom to I atom is 2.91:1. An EDX analysis of the compound, however, gave a ratio of Cl:I = 2.47:1. Accordingly, the exact composition may very well be variable, and likely dependent on the exact conditions present during crystal formation. Even though these data are slightly different, they indicate clearly that the crystals are a solid solution in which there was some substitution of Cl for I and vice versa.
As a result of the different trans effects of the N and Cl atoms, the Pt—Cl bonds trans to the N atom are in general slightly shorter than bond lengths to mutually trans Cl atoms (Kim et al. 2009a and 2009b). But the trans effects of the N and Cl/I atoms in the crystal are not distinct owing to the disordered atoms. The Pt—I distance is restrained to the value given in table 9.6.3.3 of the International Tables Vol. C (Orpen et al., 1989) (2.658 Å). The main contributor to the distortion from a true octahedral structure is the tight N1—Pt1—N2 chelate angle (81.3 (2)°), which result in non-linear trans axes (<Cl1—Pt1—N1 = 174.14 (16)° and <Cl2—Pt1—N2 = 175.97 (17)°). The complex displays intermolecular π-π interactions between the six-membered rings, with a shortest centroid-centroid distance of 3.771 (4) Å and with a dihedral angle between the ring planes of 2.1 (3)°. There are also weak intramolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen bonds (Table 1).
The iodine molecule was presumedly formed as a consequence of the oxidation of the iodide ion by the Pt4+ ion, and crystallized with the partially substituted complex. The bond distance between the I atoms is 2.708 (2) Å.
