Sa. Ross et al., (4 '-Chloro-2,2 ': 6 ',2 ''-terpyridine-N,N ',N '')(diethylphosphinothioato-S)-platinum(II) tetraphenylborate, ACT CRYST C, 57, 2001, pp. 275-276
The title compound, [Pt(C4H10O3PS)(C15H10ClN3)](C24H20B), has a distorted s
quare-planar coordination geometry at the platinum(II) centre, due to the c
onstraints of the tridentate terpyridine ligand. The Pt-II-bound diethylpho
sphinothioate ligand takes up a conformation to avoid non-bonding contacts
with atoms H6 and H6 ".
