[2,2′-Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl-κ² P,P′]dichloridoplatinum(II) acetonitrile trisolvate

Abstract

The crystal structure (150 K) of the racemic title compound, [PtCl2(C44H32P2)]·3CH3CN, has been determined. The asymmetric unit comprises a single molecule of the title compound co-crystallized with three acetonitrile solvent molecules. Four molecules are observed in the unit cell, with R and S enantiomers present in a 2:2 ratio. Evidence of intramolecular π-stacking is observed with no discernable intermolecular interactions.
