Abstract

(RhCl)2Pt(N2Cl3)2(N2)2(NCl)2 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/m space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of eight ammonia molecules, four chloramine molecules, two Pt(N2Cl3)2 clusters, and four RhCl clusters. In each Pt(N2Cl3)2 cluster, Pt2+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six Cl1- atoms. There are four shorter (2.34 Å) and two longer (2.35 Å) Pt–Cl bond lengths. N+0.20+ is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Cl1- atom. The N–Cl bond length is 2.41 Å. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt2+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to one Pt2+ and two equivalent N+0.20+ atoms. In each RhCl cluster, Rh3+ is bonded in a 4-coordinate geometry to one Cl1- atom. The Rh–Cl bond length is 2.35 Å. Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Rh3+ atom.
