Dichloridobis(2-methoxy-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaphospho-rine-κP)platinum(II) trichloro-methane solvate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(13)H(11)O(2)P)(2)]·CHCl(3), has a rare PtCl(2) bridging of two dibenzooxaphospho-rine ligands through the metal atom. The Pt(II) ion is in a slightly distorted square-planar environment. The trichloro-methane solvent mol-ecule shows rotational disorder (major occupancy is 0.75) and is placed near to the inversion centre at (1/2, 1/2, 0) in channels parallel to the a axis. The solvent mol-ecule is linked to the complex mol-ecule via inter-molecular bifurcated C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by π-π inter-actions involving the benzene rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.658 (8) Å.
