The reaction of [NEt4](2)[Pt(mnt)(2)] {mnt = [S2C2(CN)(2)](2-)} with [
Pt(CNMe)(4)][PF6](2) gave the diamagnetic 'stacked' salt [Pt(CNMe)(4)]
[Pt(mnt)(2)]. In acetonitrile, nitromethane and nitropropane solution
respectively, treatment of [NEt4][Pt(mnt)(2)] with [Pt(CNMe)(4)][PF6](
2) yielded three different crystal forms of the salt of 1 :2 stoichiom
etry: [py(NMe)(4)][pt(mnt)(2)](2) . 2MeCN, [Pt(CNMe)(4)][Pt(mnt)(2)](2
) . MeNO2 and [Pt(CNMe)(4)][Pt(mnt)(2)](2). These show structure-depen
dent antiferromagnetism, reflecting differing arrangements of the form
ally platinate(III) anions [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) within the crystal lattice.
The palladium salts [Pt(CNMe)(4)][Pd(mnt)(2)] and [Pt(CNMe)(4)][Pd(mn
t)(2)](2) . 2MeCN are isomorphous with their platinum analogues.
