Isolierte quadratische Koordination von Pt2+ in BaNd2PtO5

Isolated Square-Planar Coordinated Pt²⁺ Inside of BaNd₂PtO₅ Single crystals of the hitherto unknown compound BaNd₂PtO₅ were prepared and examined by X-ray technique. The compound crystallizes with tetragonal symmetry D? P4 b2; a = 6.7569(6) and c = 5.9119(13) Å; Z = 2. The structure is discussed in respect of the isolated square-planare coordination of Pt²⁺ ions and its relation with other planar coordinated platinum of oxocompounds.
