A pseudo-trigonal bipyramidally coordinated Pt atom in dicarbonylbis(octacarbonyl-μ-dicyclohexylphosphidodirhenio)platinum(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [PtRe4(C12H22P)2(CO)18] or [(mu-PCy2)(CO)8Re2]2Pt(CO)2 (Cy is cyclohexyl), two phosphido-bridged dirhenium groups are linked by a Pt(CO)2 unit and show different bonding patterns for stereochemical reasons. The Re--Re distances are 3.2620 (15) and 3.0739 (15) A, and the Pt--Re distances are 2.9165 (12), 2.9025 (15) and 2.8548 (13) A.
