Ms. Hannu et al., Isomerism in bis(phenylselenolato) bis(triphenylphosphine) platinum(II): the crystal and molecular structures of cis- and trans-[Pt(SePh)(2)(PPh3)(2)], INORG CH C, 3(7), 2000, pp. 397-399
The reaction of cis-[PtCl2(PPh3)(2)] and NaSePh in benzene produces a mixtu
re of cis- and trans-isomers of the monomeric platinum complex [Pt(SePh)(2)
(PPh3)(2)]. The low-temperature X-ray structures of both isomers are report
ed. The structure of cis-[Pt(SePh)(2)(PPh3)(2)] is the first crystallograph
ic characterized cis-isomer of mononuclear platinum(II) complex containing
only non-chelating organoselenolato and phosphine ligands. (C) 2000 Elsevie
