V. Defelice et al., BINUCLEAR COMPLEXES FROM 1,8-SUBSTITUTED ANTHRACENE-DERIVATIVES - THECRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF ZONE)](TETRA-CHLOROBIS(ETA-2-ETHYLENE)DI-PLATINUM], Inorganica Chimica Acta, 221(1-2), 1994, pp. 151-155
Oxidative addition of anthracene 1,8-dicarbonylchloride to the three-c
oordinate Pt(2,9-Me2-1,10-phenanthroline)(dimethylmaleate)], leads to
a binuclear species with trigonal bipyramidal coordination around each
platinum atom. Some reactions of this complex are described. The crys
tal structure of the related ethylene four-coordinate species azone)]}
tetrachlorobis(eta2-ethylene)di-platinum], is reported. The complex cr
ystallizes in the triclinic space group P1BAR with: a = 7.185(3), b =
13.379(7), c = 14.943(7) angstrom, alpha = 103.49(4), beta = 93.48(4),
gamma = 97.78(4)degrees, Z = 2, R = 0.065.
