Of. Danzeisen et al., Structural and spectroscopic characterisation of the mixed valence platinum complex PtdabI(3) (dab = o-diaminobenzene), INORG CHIM, 287(2), 1999, pp. 218-222
The new mixed valence platinum complex PtdabI(3) (dab = o-diaminobenzene) (
1) has been prepared and characterised. The crystal structure consists of s
eparate units of planar Pt(II)dabI(2) and octahedral Pt(IV)dabI(4) molecule
s. The latter are arranged in linear chains with rather short intermolecula
r I ... I-contacts (3.478 Angstrom) which are responsible for charge transf
er interactions. In the resonance Raman spectrum strong intensity enhanceme
nts and extended overtone progressions of the symmetric I-Pt-I stretching m
ode have been observed. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
