Bis(pentafluorobenzenethiolato-κS){(pentafluorophenyl)phenyl[3,4,5,6-tetrafluoro-2-(pentafluorophenylsulfanyl)phenyl]phosphane-κ2P,S}platinum(II) dichloromethane hemisolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Pt(C6F5S)2(C24H5F14PS)]·0.5CH2Cl2, the complex features a square-planar PtIIatom coordinated by two thiolate ligands and one chelating bidentate P/S ligand, forming a five-membered metallacycle. The monodentate SC6F5ligands give a weak parallel displaced π–π interaction. In the chelating ligand, the geometry for both S and P donor atoms is consistent withsp3hybridization. The complex conformation is identical to that previously described for the compound bearing 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorophenylthiolate in place of pentafluorophenylthiolate groups. The lattice solvent, CH2Cl2, is disordered over inversion centers inP-1, affording a hemisolvate.
