Abstract
K2[Pt(NO3)4]·Full-size image (<1 K)H2O was prepared from ca 0.4 M solutions of platinum(II) perchlorate in perchloric acid by addition of KHCO3 and KNO3. Its crystal structure was determined from X-ray intensity data collected with a CAD-4 diffractometer. Monochromatic MoKα-radiation was used. The space group is I4/m with Z = 4; a = 7.5277(4) and c = 20.470(3) Å. The refinement converged to R = 0.036. The structure contains discrete complexes, [Pt(NO3)4]2−, with symmetry C4. Pt coordinates four O from different unidentate nitrato groups. The PtO distance is 2.010(5) Å. The coordination around Pt is distorted square-planar, with Pt situated 0.14 Å above the plane formed by four O, so that a very flat, square pyramid is formed. Two such pyramids on each side of the mirror plane are packed together with their bases facing each other. The closest OO distance between them is 3.29(1) Å and the PtPt distance is 3.590(1) Å. The potassium ions are located between the pairs of complexes so that a three-dimensional packing of K+ and 2×[Pt(NO3)4]2− is formed.
