Bis(μ-diisopropyl­phosphanido-κ²P:P)bis­[hydrido(triisopropyl­phosphane-κP)platinum(II)]

In the centrosymmetric mol­ecular structure of the title compound [Pt₂(C₆H₁₄P)₂H₂(C₉H₂₁P)₂], each Pt^II atom is bound on one side to a phosphane ligand (PiPr₃) and a hydrido ligand. On the other side, it is bound to two phosphanide ligands (μ-PiPr₂), which engage a bridging position between the two Pt^II atoms, forming a distorted square-planar structure motif. The Pt...Pt distance is 3.6755 (2) Å. A comparable mol­ecular structure was observed for bis­(μ-di-tert-butyl­phosphanido)bis­[hydrido(triethyl­phosphane)platinum(II)] [Itazaki et al. (2004). Organometallics, 23, 1610–1621].
