Materials Data on Pt(NCl)2 by Materials Project
Pt(NCl)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of two cis-diaminedichloroplatinum molecules. Pt2+ is bonded in a distorted rectangular see-saw-like geometry to two N and two Cl1- atoms. There is one shorter (1.77 Å) and one longer (1.78 Å) Pt–N bond length. There are one shorter (2.37 Å) and one longer (2.41 Å) Pt–Cl bond lengths. There are two inequivalent N sites. In the first N site, N is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt2+ atom. In the second N site, N is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt2+ atom. There are two inequivalent Cl1- sites. In the first Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pt2+ atom. In the second Cl1- site, Cl1- is bonded in a distorted single-bond geometry to one Pt2+ atom.
