Abstract
Abstract The crystal structure of(-)- cis -dichloro(trans-2-butene)[(S)-α-phenethylamine]platinum(II) has been determined by single-crystal three-dimensional X-ray analysis. The crystals belong to the monoclinic system, space group P2 1 , with the following unit cell constants a = 12.87, b =6.58, c =8.86 A, β= 102° 38' and with two molecules per unit cell. Intensities measurements were carried out by an automated counter method. The structure has been solved by three-dimensional Patterson and Fourier syntheses. The final conventional R value for 713 non-zero independent reflections was 0.053. The ligands around the platinum are arranged in as quare-planar configuration. The olefin double bond deviates slightly from the idealized arrangement in which the CC is perpendicular to the plane defined by the Pt, N and Cl atoms. The relevant features of the structure are reported and discussed in terms of non-bonded interactions and molecular orbitals.
