Abstract
In the title compound, [PtCl4(C14H11N)2], the Pt atom lies on an inversion center and has a distorted octahedral environment. The main geometric parameters are Pt—N = 1.960 (5) Å, and Pt—Cl = 2.3177 (12) and 2.3196 (12) Å. The N C bond is a typical triple bond [1.137 (7) Å]. The Pt—N C—C unit is almost linear, with Pt—N—C and N—C—C angles of 174.6 (4) and 177.1 (6)°, respectively.

Comment
In the past decade, a PtIV center was recognized as one of the most efficient electrophilic activators of the C≡N bond in nitriles (Pombeiro & Kukushkin, 2004; Kukushkin & Pombeiro, 2002). Within the framework of our project focused on reactivity of metal-activated nitriles, a novel platinum(IV) complex, i.e. trans-[PtCl4(N≡CCHPh2)2], (I), was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It should be mentioned that only few structures of platinum(IV) nitrile complexes are known, e.g. (Yagyu et al., 2002; Johansson et al., 1998; Scollard et al., 2001). Probably the small number of examples is related to the high reactivity of various (nitrile)PtIV species, where nitrile ligands are subject to facile nucleophilic attack even by weak nucleophiles or H2O in wet solvents.
The complex (I) crystallized in the centrosymmetrical P1 space group wherein the Pt atom lies on an inversion center and it has an octahedral environment and nitrile ligands have the mutual trans orientation (Fig. 1). The angles N1—Pt1—Cl2, N1—Pt1—Cl1, Cl2—Pt1—Cl1 are close to the ideal 90°. The Pt1—Cl bond distances (2.3177 (12) and 2.3196 (12) Å) are similar within 3σ with many other Pt—Cl bond lengths (2.323 (38) Å) in related PtIV complexes (Orpen et al., 1989). The Pt1—N distances (1.960 (5) Å) are common for (nitrile)Pt complexes bearing two trans-coordinated nitriles, e.g. 1.943 (11)–1.978 (3) Å in PtII complexes (Eysel et al., 1983; Kritzenberger et al., 1994; Svensson et al. 1995).
The value of the N1≡C1 bond (1.137 (7) Å) is typical for the triple bonds in PtII-coordinated (1.129 (9)–1.154 (18) Å in trans-[PtCl2(NCR)2] (Eysel et al., 1983; Kritzenberger et al., 1994; Svensson et al. 1995), in PtIV-bound (1.09 (4)–1.157 (12) Å) (Yagyu et al., 2002; Johansson et al., 1998; Scollard et al., 2001), and in uncomplexed (1.136 (10) Å (Allen et al., 1987) nitriles. The value of the C1—C2 bond (1.469 (7) Å) agrees well with those reported for Csp–Csp3 single bonds (1.470 (13) Å) (Allen et al., 1987). The Pt1/N1/C1/C2 moiety is almost linear with Pt1—N1≡C1 and N1≡C1—C2 angles of 174.6 (4) and 177.1 (6)°, correspondingly. The angle C3—C2—C9 (114.7 (5)°) is larger than 109° probably due to steric repulsion between two phenyl rings.
Experimental
Diphenylacetonitrile (8.5 mg, 0.044 mmol; purchased from Aldrich) was added to a suspension of trans-[PtCl4(EtCN)2] (9.7 mg, 0.022 mmol) (Luzyanin et al., 2002) in CDCl3 (1 ml) and the reaction mixture was left to stand for 2 d at 323 K in an NMR tube, whereupon orange–yellow crystals were formed on walls of the tube. The crystals were mechanically separated.
Refinement
The phenyl ring C3–C8 was slightly disordered. However, no disordered model was used in the final refined but the C atoms on phenyl ring C3–C8 were restrained with effective standard deviation 0.1 so that its Uij components approximate to isotropic behavior. All H atoms were positioned geometrically and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.95 and 1.00 Å, for methine and aryl H atoms, respectively, and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(parent atom). The residual electron density in the final difference map could be attributed to insufficient absorption correction as well as twinning, which could not be corrected.

Special details
| Experimental. IR spectrum in KBr, selected bonds, cm-1: 2340 s ν(C≡N). 1H NMR spectrum in CDCl3, δ: 5.85 (s, 1H, CH), 7.42 (m, 10H, Ph). |
| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
