The title compound (C16H36N)2[Pt(S2C4N2)2] was prepared using a procedure similar to that described by Fackler and Coucouvanis (1966) subsituting the use of tetra-n-propylammonium iodide with tetra-n-butylammonium bromide. The title compound has been previously characterized by Werden et al.(1966). Spectroscopic analysis of the present sample obtained by this procedure was consistent with the data previously reported. Crystals were obtained by diffusion of diethyl ether into a concentrated solution of the title compound dissolved in dichloromethane.
The H atoms were geometrically placed (C—H = 0.98–0.99 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C).

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 > σ(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. |

Salts of metal complexes of [Pt(i-mnt)2]2- (i-mnt=1,1-dicyanoethylene-2,2-dithiolate) have been studied for their interesting electronic properties including their photoluminescence (Cummings & Eisenberg, 1996) and their redox behavior especially in relation to the analagous isomeric ligand 1,2-dicyanoethylene-1,2-dithiolate (mnt2-) complexes (Fackler & Coucouvanis, 1966; Werden et al., 1966). In sharp contrast to mnt complexes of the form [M(mnt)2]2- (M= NiII, PdII, PtII) which do exhibit reversible oxidation behavior, analagous i-mnt complexes of the form [M(i-mnt)2]2- do not. This effect is attributed to better π-delocalization of the five-membered rings formed by complexation of mnt compared with four-membered chelate rings of i-mnt complexes. Salts of [Pt(i-mnt)2]2- have also been studied as supramolecular linker groups in organic-inorganic hybrid coordination polymers (Gao et al. 2005, 2006; Li et al. 2004; Sun et al. 2006). While several x-ray structures of [Pt(i-mnt)2]2- with alkali metal-complexed crown ether salts have been reported, only one other simple non-coordinating cation salt (tetraethylammonium, Hummel 1987) has been structurally characterized.
The structure of the anion in the title compound (C16H36N)2[Pt(S2C4N2)2] shows significant distortions from a square planar environment as forced by the four-membered chelate rings of the i-mnt ligands, with the i-mnt bite angle S(2)—Pt(1)—S(1) = 74.35 (4)°. As the Pt sits on the special position (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) in the space group P21/n, Z' = 0.5, the anion is quite planar, with a calculated r.m.s. deviation from a least-squares plane formed by all atoms of the complex anion of 0.042 (3) Å. The bond lengths within coordinated i-mnt ligand, in particular the bonds C(1)—C(2) 1.361 (6) Å, C(2)—C(3) 1.429 (6) Å, and C(2)—C(4) 1.430 (6)Å are very similar to those observed in the tetraethylammonium salt, showing significant π-delocalization. No columnar stacking is observed amongst the complex anions. As expected, upon comparison of the structure of the title compound and the tetraethylammonium salt, little effect was observed on the intramolecular features of the complex anion.
