Abstract
Forty-four electron trinuclear triangulo-platinum clusters adopt a variety of geometrical conformations, unlike their forty-two electron homologues. Extended Hückel calculations are reported which throw light on electronic reasons for these different geometrical preferences, with particular emphasis on their bridging ligand dependence. It is shown that these geometrical preferences can be understood in terms of the frontier orbitals of mono-nuclear platinum fragments of the cluster.
