metal-organic compounds
The title compound, cis-[PtCl2(C4H10S)2], crystallizes in the space group P21/n with pseudo-square-planar coordination geometry. The orientation of the ethyl groups on the S atoms is staggered with respect to the coordination plane, giving the complex approximate C2v symmetry. The complex does not form dimeric packing units with short PtS intradimeric distances as seen in some related complexes, but instead displays C-HCl interactions in three dimensions. These C-HCl-Pt contacts are compared with those of related compounds reported in the Cambridge Structural Database, which show a frequency maximum in the range 120-170° for the C-HCl angle.

The title compound, [Pt(NO3)2(C2H6S)2], crystallizes in the P21/n space group (Z′ = 2), with pseudo-square-planar coordination geometry. The complex forms dimers with pseudosymmetry Ci arranged in columns along the b-axis direction, with PtPt distances of 6.3056 (3) and 4.2382 (2) Å (at 150 K). Each column is surrounded by six other columns in a honeycomb rod-like packing. The coordination mode of the nitrate ligands is monodentate, with Pt—O—N angles ranging from ∼117 to ∼118° and a tilt between the nitrate ligands and the coordination planes in the range ∼63–70° (at 150 K). The coordination mode of the nitrate ligands is compared with that observed in reported Pt(NO3)2L2 complexes (where L is a ligand with a donor atom from group 15 or 16), all of which are monodentate, with an average Pt—O—N angle of 118 (2)° and a tilt in the range 90 ± 30° (with two exceptions, in which the nitrates are approximately in the coordination plane).
