Abstract:
The title compound, [Pt(C(13)H(10)ClN(2)S)Cl], contains a Pt atom tetra-coordinated by a benzene C, a diazene N, a Cl and an S atom in an approximately square-planar geometry. The mol-ecules dimerize through a nonbonded S⋯S inter-action [S⋯S = 3.523 (18) Å]. There are no hydrogen bonds and the crystal packing is stabilized by four inter-molecular π-π inter-actions; the centroid-centroid distances are 3.804 (3), 3.638 (3), 3.804 (3) and 3.638 (3) Å, and the corresponding perpendicular distances are 3.369, 3.448, 3.406 and 3.466 Å.

Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...
