A Crystallographic Study of Platinum(II) Complexes
Single crystal structural data have been used to estimate the influence of the X, Y and Z ligands on the Pt‹L bond length in [PtLXYZ] complexes, i.e. the ground state cis- and trans-influence. Cl or S were selected as indicator ligands, L, for these studies. Ligands with soft donor atoms, such as sulfur, carbon and silicon have been used to study their trans-influence on halides. The effects of ex
