Materials Data on H12PtN6(ClO3)2 by Materials Project
Pt(NH3)4Cl2(NO3)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two nitric acid molecules and one Pt(NH3)4Cl2 cluster. In the Pt(NH3)4Cl2 cluster, Pt4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to four N+0.33- and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.07 Å) and two longer (2.08 Å) Pt–N bond lengths. Both Pt–Cl bond lengths are 2.34 Å. There are two inequivalent N+0.33- sites. In the first N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Pt4+ and three H1+ atoms. There is one shorter (1.03 Å) and two longer (1.04 Å) N–H bond length. In the second N+0.33- site, N+0.33- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Pt4+ and three H1+ atoms. There is two shorter (1.03 Å) and one longer (1.04 Å) N–H bond length. There are six inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. In the fifth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. In the sixth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.33- atom. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt4+ atom.
