Abstract
  • The comparison of the very similar compounds (Ph(3)P)(2)Pt(mu-S)(2)Pt(PPh(3))(2) (1) and (Ph(2)PyP)(2)Pt(mu-S)(2)Pt(PPh(2)Py)(2) (2) raises intriguing questions about the reliability of the reported Pt(2)S(2) core in 1, where the Pt-S bonds are the shortest ever reported. Also, the trans-annular S center dot center dot center dot S separation of 2.69 angstrom is surprisingly shorter in 1 than in 2 (3.01 angstrom), but no incipient coupling between two S(2-) bridges seems reasonable in this case. Various considerations lead to reformulate 1 as [(Ph(3)P)(2)Pt(mu-OH)(2)Pt(PPh(3))(2)](BF(4))(2), 3. The sets of cell parameters for 1 and 3 are not equal but two axes match, and the volume of 1 is exactly double. Simple matrices may be constructed to interconvert the direct and reciprocal crystalline cells, thus corroborating their identity of the compounds. It is concluded that, in the structure solution of 1, some atoms were either neglected (BF(4)(-) counterions) or ill identified (sulfido in place of hydroxo bridges), while the structure of 3 was solved by collecting only one-half of the possible reflections (hence, also the different space groups). A new preparation, crystallization and X-ray structure of 3 confirms the above points and dismisses any other theoretical conjecture about two electronically different Pt(2)S(2) cores in 1 and 2.
