Bis(μ-diisopropyl-phosphanido-κ(2)P:P)bis-[hydrido(triisopropyl-phosphane-κP)platinum(II)].

ABSTRACT: In the centrosymmetric mol-ecular structure of the title compound [Pt(2)(C(6)H(14)P)(2)H(2)(C(9)H(21)P)(2)], each Pt(II) atom is bound on one side to a phosphane ligand (PiPr(3)) and a hydrido ligand. On the other side, it is bound to two phosphanide ligands (μ-PiPr(2)), which engage a bridging position between the two Pt(II) atoms, forming a distorted square-planar structure motif. The Pt⋯Pt distance is 3.6755 (2) Å. A comparable mol-ecular structure was observed for bis-(μ-di-tert-butyl-phosphanido)bis-[hydrido(triethyl-phosphane)platinum(II)] [Itazaki et al. (2004 ▶). Organometallics, 23, 1610-1621].
