Abstract: | The X‐ray crystal structures of [PtCl2(dppm)], [Pt(C6F5)2L] (L = dppm (bis(diphenylphosphino)methane), dpam (bis(diphenylarsino)methane), dpae (bis(diphenylarsino)ethane)) and [PtCl(C6F5)(dpae)] show the complexes to be monomeric with chelating dipnictido ligands, and not alternatives with bridging ligands. In [Pt(C6F5)2(dpam)2], there are two unidentate diarsine ligands in a cis‐arrangement. |
