Abstract

The platinum molecular complex cis-Cl2(Ph3Sb)(Me2S=O)Pt (I) was synthesized by the reaction of tetraphenylstibonium chloride with potassium tetrachloroplatinate in dimethyl sulfoxide. The crystal structure of square-planar complex I was determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex contains, in addition to chlorine atoms, triphenylstibine and DMSO molecules coordinated to the central atom. The bond lengths Pt-Cl, Pt-S, and Pt-Sb are 2.308(1), 2.350(1), 2.195(1), and 2.5118(4) A, respectively. The compound is the first example of mixed-ligand platinum(II) complex in which the coordination sphere of the central atom contains, along with dimethyl sulfoxide ligand, a tertiary stibine ligand.
