Abstract:
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 tetra-fluoro-ethyl-ene complex that had been anti-cipated. 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 inter-actions into thick wavy (010) sheets. The present crystal-structure refinement is based on the original intensity data recorded in 1967.
