Abstract
Two new dialkyldithiocarbamato platinum(II) complexes of [Pt(S2CNR)2], R = iso-C3H7 (1) and iso-C4H9 (2), have been prepared and characterised using 13C CP-MAS NMR. The crystal and molecular structures of the isolated compounds were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The unit cell of 1 contains four centrosymmetric discrete molecules of [Pt{S2CN(iso-C3H7)2}2], of which the pairs are structurally inequivalent to each other (hereafter denoted as molecules 1a and 1b). At the supramolecular level, due to numerous intermolecular CH⋯S hydrogen bonds, the 1a molecules form linear polymeric ribbons, whose interaction with the 1b molecules results in a two-dimensional polymeric network. In the structure of 2, the construction of supramolecular zigzag chains by non-centrosymmetric molecules of [Pt{S2CN(iso-C4H9)2}2] is determined by intermolecular CH⋯Pt anagostic interactions. The thermal behaviour of crystalline compounds 1 and 2 was studied by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), a combination of the TG and DSC techniques, under an argon atmosphere. In both cases, platinum(II) sulfide (PtS) was identified as the main end-product upon thermal decomposition of the complexes at 600 °C.
