C. Ganter et al., A NEW ORTHORHOMBIC CRYSTAL FORM OF HENYLPHOSPHINOMETHYL)-1,3-DIOXOLANE-P,P']PLATINUM, [((R,R)-DIOP)PTCL2], Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 50, 1994, pp. 507-510
In the orthorhombic form of the title compound, [PtCl2(C31H32O2P2)], t
he geometry at Pt is approximately square planar and the molecular con
formation observed is qualitatively similar to that of one of the two
independent molecules in a triclinic polymorph determined previously.
The crystal and molecular structures are pseudo-isomorphous with those
of [{(S,S)-diop}PtMeCl].
