{Bis[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)ethyl]phenylphosphane-κ3P,P′,P′′}[(Z)-8-mesitylcyclooct-4-en-1-yl]platinum(II) tetrafluoridoborate dichloromethane disolvate

Abstract

In the title ionic compound, [Pt(C17H23)(C34H33P3)](BF4)·2CH2Cl2, the PtII atom adopts a square-planar coordination geometry with the large (Z)-8-mesitylcyclooct-4-en-1-yl group occupying the fourth coordination site. The (triphos)Pt moiety and the mesityl group are attached to the cyclooct-4-ene motif at the 1- and 8-position in a syn configuration. The (BF4)− anion and one of the dichloromethane solvate molecules each are disordered over two sets of sites.
