Abstract

On exposure of trans-(n-Bu4N)2[Pt(SCN)2(ox)2] to photochemical reduction (n-Bu4N)2- [Pt(SCN)2(ox)] (1) is formed. Further treatment with (SCN)2 yields (n-Bu4N)2- [Pt(SCN)4(ox)] (2). The X-ray structure determination on a single crystal was performed of [(C5H5N)2CH2][Pt(SCN)4 (ox)] (triclinic, space group P1̅, a = 9.823(1), b = 14.850(1), c = 15.799(1) Å , α= 74.304(9), β= 86.268(9), γ= 87.455(9)°, Z = 4). Based on the molecular parameters of the X-ray determination the IR and Raman spectra have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants of the symmetric axis S-Pt-S and of the asymmetrically coordinated S'-Pt-O* axes are fd(PtS) = 1.71, fd(PtS') = 1.92 (1), fd(PtS') = 2.02 (2) and fd(PtO•) = 2.45 (1) and 2.24 (2) mdyn/Å. Taking into account increments of the trans influence a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved. The NMR shifts are δ(195Pt) = 1967.7 (1) and 2930.8 ppm (2)
