The reaction of K,PtCI, with CH3-CH=CH-CH,-OH yields the complex cis-[PtCl,((CH,= CH-CH(CH3)),0)].The crystals are triclinic, space group P i , a = 9.420(2) a, b = 8.359(4) A, c = 7.837(4) A, a = 91.10(4)", ! 3 = 62.13(4)", y = 80.80(5)", and Z = 2. The structure, solved by standard methods, has been refined anisotropically by full matrix least-squares methods to a R factor of 0.052 by use of 2441 independent observed reflections. The complex is a monomer, where both double bonds of the diolefin ether are coordinated to the platinum atom as in Zeise's salt. The usual square planar coordination of platinum (I1) Can. . I .
