Abstract:
In the title compound, [Pt(C(37)H(55)P(2)Si)Cl], prepared from MeSiH[(cy)(2)PC(6)H(4)](2) and [Pt(cod)Cl(2)] (cy = cyclo-hexyl; cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene), the Pt(II) atom is coordinated by two P atoms, one Si atom and one Cl atom in a distorted square-planar geometry. The two P atoms are in a trans arrangement and the four cyclo-hexane rings adopt a chair conformation.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
