Materials Data on PtCI2O by Materials Project
PtCOI2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four PtCOI2 clusters. Pt2+ is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one C2+ and three I1- atoms. The Pt–C bond length is 1.86 Å. There are a spread of Pt–I bond distances ranging from 2.64–2.67 Å. C2+ is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Pt2+ and one O2- atom. The C–O bond length is 1.15 Å. O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C2+ atom. There are two inequivalent I1- sites. In the first I1- site, I1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pt2+ atom. In the second I1- site, I1- is bonded in an L-shaped geometry to two equivalent Pt2+ atoms.
