Tetraphenyl-arsonium cis-bis-[1,2-bis-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)ethene-1,2-dithiol-ato]platinate(II)
Abstract:
In the title compound, (C(24)H(20)As)[Pt(C(4)F(6)S(2))(2)], the cation lies on a twofold rotation axis while the anion has crystallographic inversion symmetry. The Pt(II) ion is in a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment. The F atoms of both unique -CF(3) groups are disordered over two sets of sites, the ratios of refined occupancies being 0.677 (15):0.323 (15) and 0.640 (16):0.360 (16). The crystal structure is the first to date of a monoanionic [Pt(tfd)(2)](-) species [tfd is 1,2-bis-(trifluoro-meth-yl)ethene-1,2-dithiol-ate] with a non-redox-active cation.

The bonds formed in this reaction are stronger than the bonds broken, making it energetically favorable. The reaction follows a radical chain mechanism similar to radical halogenation reactions,...
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
