cis-Dichloridobis(diethylphenylphosphine-κP)platinum(II)

W. Domańska-Babul, J. Pikies and J. Chojnacki

In the title compound, [PtCl₂(C₁₀H₁₅P)₂], the Pt atom adopts a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The phenyl rings form dihedral angles of 82.21 (11) and 79.98 (11)° with the PtCl₂P₂ mean plane. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak intra- and intermolecular C—H

Cl hydrogen bonds.

Comment top

We have a standing interest in the reactivity of [(R₃P)₂PtCl₂] compounds towards diphosphanes (Domanska-Babul, Chojnacki, Matern & Pikies, 2007). The title compound, [(Et₂PhP)₂PtCl₂], was obtained according to the published procedure (Matern et al., 2000) and recovered from the reaction mixture during the studies.

An ORTEP plot of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The geometry of the Pt atom is slightly distorted square planar with the metal displaced by only 0.0007 (2) Å from the PtCl₂P₂ mean plane. The Cl and P atoms display a substantial tetrahedral distortion, being displaced by 0.1647 (13), -0.1394 (13), -0.1349 (13) and 0.1267 (12) Å for Cl1, Cl2, P1 and P2 respectively. For comparison, the displacements found for the same atoms in the related complex [(EtPh₂P)₂PtCl₂] (Domanska-Babul, Chojnacki & Pikies 2007) are -0.0238 (5), -0.0008 (5), -0.0251 (5) and -0.0060 (5) Å respectively. Even more significant departures from planarity are observed in the case of sterically demanding phosphanes ligands, viz. in [cis-(^tBu₂PhP)₂PtCl₂] (Porzio et al., 1980). The bond angle P1–Pt–P2 of 94.43 (4)° indicates steric repulsion of the PhEt₂P groups smaller than those observed for the EtPh₂P groups in [(EtPh₂P)₂PtCl₂] (100.23 °) and for the MePh₂P groups in [(MePh₂P)₂PtCl₂] (98.11 °; Ho et al., 1982). The average Pt–P and Pt–Cl distances of 2.253 (13) Å and 2.356 (12) Å respectively are typical for [cis-(R₃P)₂PtCl₂] complexes. The dihedral angles formed by the C1—C6 and C11—C16 phenyl rings with the PtCl₂P₂ mean plane are 82.21 (11) and 79.98 (11) ° respectively. The crystal structure is reinforced by weak intra- and intermolecular C—H···Cl hydrogen interactions (Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound compound [cis-{C₆H₅(C₂H₅)₂P}₂PtCl₂] has been obtained as yellow powder in the reaction of a solution of phenyl(diethyl)phosphane in ethanol with a solution of potassium tetrachloroplatinate(II) in water (Matern et al., 2000). Slow crystallization from THF at ambient temperature yielded crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.

Special details top

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.
