Trans-Carbonyl­chlorido­bis­(tri­ethyl­phosphane-κP)platinum(II) tetra­fluorido­borate

ABSTRACT: Crystallographic details are given of an unexpected product − a platinum(II) carbonyl complex, in which the carbonyl oxygen atom has remarkably been extracted from Pyrex glassware by tetra­fluoro­ethyl­ene. Preliminary details were reported previously. The chemical formulation of the title compound was established as trans-[PtCl{P(C2H5)3(CO)}BF4 by single-crystal X-ray analysis, in contrast to the five-coordinate tetra­fluoro­ethyl­ene complex that had been anti­cipated. The compound had been prepared by reaction of trans-PtHCl(P(C2H5)3)2 with C2F4 in the absence of air, and the presence of the carbonyl group was not suspected. The square-planar cations and BF4− anions are linked by C—H⋯F and C—H⋯O inter­actions into thick wavy (010) sheets. The present crystal-structure refinement is base
