Materials Data on PtC2(ClO)2 by Materials Project
Pt(CO)2Cl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four Pt(CO)2Cl2 clusters. Pt2- is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two C4+ and two Cl1- atoms. Both Pt–C bond lengths are 1.90 Å. There are one shorter (2.32 Å) and one longer (2.34 Å) Pt–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent C4+ sites. In the first C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Pt2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.14 Å. In the second C4+ site, C4+ is bonded in a linear geometry to one Pt2- and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. There are two inequivalent O2- sites. In the first O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. In the second O2- site, O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C4+ atom. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt2- atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pt2- atom.
