{Bis[2-(diphenylphosphino)ethyl]phenylphosphine-κ³P,P′,P′′}chloridoplatinium(II) hexafluoridophosphate

Abstract

In the title compound, [PtCl(C34H33P3)]PF6, the PtII cation adopts a distorted square-planar PtClP3 geometry, arising from the P,P′,P′′-tridentate triphos ligand and a chloride ion. Four of the F atoms of the PF6 − anion are disordered over two sets of positions in a 0.614 (17):0.386 (17) ratio.

Bruker SMART X2S Benchtop System: A Means To Making X-ray Crystallography More Mainstream in the Undergraduate Laboratory

“…This system has been successfully tested at the American Crystallographic Association 2009 summer school and sold to at least three chemistry sites in the United States. The informal reviews were good and several articles containing structural results based on SMART X2S data have been published by others − and by us − .…”
