Zeise's dimer, [Pt2Cl4(C2H4)2)], consists of two independent dimeric mol­ecules in the unit cell, one of which is crystallographically centrosymmetric. All Pt atoms are essentially square planar with bridging and trans terminal chloride groups. The eth­ene groups are orthogonal to the mol­ecular square plane. In the non-centrosymmetric mol­ecule, the two square planes subtend an angle of 160.10 (13)° at the bridging Cl atoms. The crystal structure exhibits layers of molecules running approximately parallel to the (001) face, with a layer of the centrosymmetric dimer stacked directly between two layers of the non-centro­symmetric mol­ecules [Pt...Pt = 4.053 (1) and 4.090 (1) Å]. Within this stack, the eth­ene groups of the central mol­ecule are located betwen two terminal chloride groups of the adjacent mol­ecules. Adjacent three-layer sandwiches are staggered from each other so that stacking occurs for only one square plane, disrupting any further inter­action by one Pt atom but allowing a weaker Pt...Pt inter­action [4.249 (1) Å]. The non-centrosymmetric mol­ecule layer exhibits a weak hydrogen bond between a terminal chloride and an ethene H atom of an adjacent mol­ecule.

Comment top

Bis(µ2-chloro)dichlorobis(η2-ethene)diplatinum(II) (Zeize's dimer) consists of two independent dimeric molecules in the unit cell, one of which is crystallographically centrosymmetric (Fig. 1). All platinum atoms are essentially square planar with bridging and terminal chloride groups. The ethylene groups are trans to each other across the dimeric unit in both molecules and are essentially orthogonal to the square plane geometry of their coordinated platinum atom. The non-centrosymmetric molecule exhibits a small hinge angle of 160.10 (13)° at the bridging chlorides. The overall geometry and molecular dimensions are comparable to related palladium and platinum structures, (Jain & Jain, 2005; Otto et al., 2003) including the palladium analogue (Dempsey & Baenziger, 1955). Amongst these, however, only bis(µ2-chloro)dichlorobis(η2-1,3-di-tert-butyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-diaza-2-sila-4- cyclopentene)dipalladium(II) is not rigorously planar (hinge angle = 150.9°) (Zettlitzer et al., 1986).

The title compound exhibits a layered structure running approximately parallel to the (0 0 1) face with a layer of the centrosymmetric dimer directly stacked between two layers of the non-centrosymmetric molecules (Pt(1)···Pt(2) 4.053 (1) Å and Pt(1')···Pt(3) 4.090 (1) Å). Within this stack, the ethylene groups of the central molecule are located between two terminal chloride groups of the adjacent molecules (τ ~90° (Aullón & Alvarez, 1997)). Adjacent three layer sandwiches are staggered from each other so that stacking occurs for only one square plane, disrupting any further interaction by Pt(2), but allowing a weaker Pt(3)···Pt(3) interaction (4.249 (1) Å). The direct Pt···Pt interaction thus extends for only five layers (Fig. 2). The Pt···Pt distances are comparable to those in K2[PtCl4] in which the electronic effects of any interaction are classified as minimal (Aullón & Alvarez, 1997). By contrast, in the palladium analogue, the molecules stack directly above each other, but with a 90° twist between adjacent Pd22-Cl)2 units leading to parallel Pd···Cl···Pd chains (3.76 Å) (Dempsey & Baenziger, 1955).

Within the presented structure, the non-centrosymmetric molecule layer exhibits a weak hydrogen bond between one terminal chloride and an ethylene hydrogen on an adjacent molecule (Fig. 2).

Related literature top

Zeize's salt, K[PtCl3(η2-C2H4)].H2O, and Zeize's dimer, Pt2(µ-Cl)2Cl2(η2-C2H4)2, are pivotal in our understanding of the interaction between organic molecules and transition metals (Zeize, 1831; Anderson, 1934). For historical background, see: Hunt (1984). However, it was not until 1975, after many difficulties, that the crystal structure of Zeize's salt was finally succesfully solved (Love et al., 1975). The structure of the historically significant Zeize's dimer has never been determined crystallographically, although analogues have been reported (Dempsey & Baenziger, 1955; Jain & Jain, 2005; Otto et al., 2003). For related literature, see: Aullón & Alvarez (1997); Boag & Ravetz (1995); Zettlitzer et al. (1986). [Please note that the Related literature section must contain all those references, and only those references, that are cited in the Supplementary material. It cannot be used to cite references that are not cited elsewhere in the CIF. Thus, the first four will be removed unless you wish to provide a revised Comment or other section which cites them, and the last three have been added.]

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared by literature methods and subsequently isolated from dichloromethane/hexane as as a few small irregular red crystals following crystallization of the residue of its reaction mixture with SbPh3 in refluxing tetrachloroethane (Boag & Ravetz, 1995).

Refinement top

The hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride on their respective atoms, with C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).

Experimental. The few crystals isolated were not particularly well formed and showed evidence of not being single- a few spurious diffactions peaks and peaks showing shoulders. The final structure exhibits multiple unassigned electron density features within 1 Å of both the platinum and chlorine atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
