Schwingungsspektren und Normalkoordinatenanalyse von Hexathiocyanatoplatinat(IV), Kristallstruktur von [Py2CH2][Pt(SCN)6] / Vibrational Spectra and Normal Coordinate Analysis of Hexathiocyanatoplatinate(IV), Crystal Structure of [Py2CH2][Pt(SCN)6

Abstract

By treatment of [PtCl6]2- with an excess of SCN– in aqueous solution [Pt(SCN)6]2- is formed. The X-ray structure determination on a single crystal of [Py2CH2][Pt(SCN)6] (orthor-hombic, space group Pna21, a = 15.5084(9), b = 11.8444(11), c = 13.2830(9)Å, Z = 4) shows, that the thiocyanate groups are exclusively S-coordinated with average Pt-S distances of 2.378 Å and Pt-S-C angles in the range from 103.1° to 108.1°. Based on the molecular parameters of the X-ray determination the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra have been assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constant is fd(PtS) = 1.62 mdyn/Å.
