Abstract

(PtNOCl3)2N2(NCl)4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four ammonia molecules, eight chloramine molecules, and four PtNOCl3 clusters. In each PtNOCl3 cluster, Pt5+ is bonded in a T-shaped geometry to three Cl1- atoms. There are two shorter (2.34 Å) and one longer (2.38 Å) Pt–Cl bond lengths. N+0.50+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O2- and one Cl1- atom. The N–O bond length is 1.14 Å. The N–Cl bond length is 2.50 Å. O2- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N+0.50+ atom. There are three inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt5+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt5+ atom. In the third Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Pt5+ and one N+0.50+ atom.
