Crystal structure of homodinuclear platinum complex containing a metal-metal bond bridged by hydride and phosphide ligands.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, μ-di-phenyl-phosphido-μ-hydrido-bis-[bromido-(tri-phenyl-phosphane-κP)platinum(II)] diethyl ether monosolvate, [Pt₂Br₂(C₁₂H₁₀P)H(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·C₄H₁₀O or [Pt₂(μ-H)(μ-PPh₂)Br₂(PPh₃)₂]·(C₂H₅)₂O, the Pt^II atoms are coordinated in a distorted square-planar arrangement, with one hydrido and one phosphido ligand bridging in a trans position. In the lattice, C-H⋯·O and C-H⋯π interactions are present. This complex has a total number of 32 electrons, 16 electrons for each Pt^II atom. One of the Br atoms is disordered over two positions in a 0.92:0.08 ratio.
