Materials Data on H8PtN2(ClO)2 by Materials Project

Abstract

PtN2H8(OCl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two azane;dichloroplatinum(2+);dihydrate molecules. Pt4+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to two equivalent N3-, two equivalent O2-, and two equivalent Cl1- atoms. Both Pt–N bond lengths are 2.07 Å. Both Pt–O bond lengths are 2.05 Å. Both Pt–Cl bond lengths are 2.34 Å. N3- is bonded in a distorted trigonal non-coplanar geometry to one Pt4+ and three H1+ atoms. There are a spread of N–H bond distances ranging from 1.03–1.05 Å. There are four inequivalent H1+ sites. In the first H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the second H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the third H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. In the fourth H1+ site, H1+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- atom. The H–O bond length is 0.98 Å. O2- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pt4+ and one H1+ atom. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt4+ atom.
