Complex 1, and related complexes of the facially coordinated tridentate ligands (pz)2(mim)CH (mim = N-methylimidazol-2-yl) and (pz)2(py)CH (py = pyridin-2-yl) have octahedral geometry for platinum(IV), “PtIC2N3“, and exhibit unusual disorder in the solid state. Complex 1 has two cations in the asymmetric unit, with one cation well ordered and the other showing disorder between the coordinated iodide and one phenyl group position. The complexes [PtIMe2{(pz)2(mim)CH-N,N’,N”}]I (2a) and [PtIMe2{(pz)2(py)CH-N,N’,N”}]I (2b) have coordinated iodide disordered with both methyl groups; in 2a iodine is predominantly trans to the pz groups, and in 2b iodine is predominantly trans to the py group. date: 1992 date_type: published publication: Journal of Organometallic Chemistry volume: 424 number: 3 pagerange: 381-390 id_number: 10.1016/0022-328X(92)80012-M refereed: TRUE issn: 0022-328X official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0022-328X(92)80012-M citation: Canty, AJ and Honeyman, RT and Skelton, BW and White, AH (1992) Structural studies of unusually disordered diorganoplatinum(IV) complexes containing the cations [PtIR2(L-N,N’,N”)]+, where the ligands L are facially coordinated.
