cis-Dichloridobis(triphenylphosphine-κP)platinum(II) chloroform solvate

A dynamic disorder-linked reversible phase transition in a new chloroform solvate of cis-dichloridobis(triethylphosphane)platinum(II).

The title compound, cis-dichloridobis(triethylphosphane)platinum(II) chloroform monosolvate, [PtCl(2)(C(6)H(15)P)(2)]·CHCl(3), has been obtained from ligand scrambling in the cis-[PtCl(2)(Cyp(2)PCl)(PEt(3))] (Cyp = cyclopentyl) system in CHCl(3) solvent. Unlike the two previously reported unsolvated polymorphs, which are both monoclinic, the compound crystallizes in an orthorhombic setting. Fur...

cis-Dichloridobis(triphenyl­phosphine-κP)platinum(II) chloro­form solvate

In the title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(18)H(15)P)(2)]·CHCl(3), each Pt(II) centre adopts a nearly square-planar coordination geometry formed by two P atoms [Pt-P = 2.2481 (17) and 2.2658 (19) Å] and two Cl anions [Pt-Cl = 2.3244 (19) and 2.3548 (17) Å]. The Cl atoms of the chloro-form solvent mol-ecule are disordered over two orientations in a 0.778 (11):0.222 (11) ratio. The crystal packing is stab...

cis-Dichloridobis(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) dimethyl­formamide solvate

In the title complex, [CoCl(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO, which has twofold rotation symmetry, the Co(II) cation is coordinated by two 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) mol-ecules and two chloride ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, a cavity is created by six complex mol-ecules connected by C-H⋯π inter-actions and non-classical C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The cavities...

It was perhaps fitting that Lieut.-Colonel Edward Lawrie, should signalise the year of his retirement from the post of R,esidenc\r Surgeon at Hyderabad by the publication of a volume on Chloroform, a subject with which he has been identified for many years past, and in defence of his views on which, and those of his master Syme, he has fought non sine gloria for many }7ears. The introduction to...
