Title: X-ray structural investigation of the pentanuclear carbonyl-phosphine cluster of platinum Pt/sub 5/(CO)(. mu. -/sub 2/-CO)/sub 5/(PPh/sub 3/)/sub 4/ in the form of a solvate with three benzene molecules

An x-ray structural investigation of the pentanuclear platinum cluster with a carbonyl-phosphine ligand environment Pt/sub 5/(CO)/sub 6/(PPh/sub 3/)/sub 4/ x 3C/sub 6/H/sub 6/ has been carried out (diffractometer, lambdaMo, -120/sup 0/, 9412 reflections, least-squares method in the anisotropic approximation to R = 0.029). The crystals are triclinic, a = 13,454, b = 13.719, c = 24.261 A, ..cap alpha.. = 76.71, ..beta.. = 85.94, ..gamma.. 73.36/sup 0/, the space group is P anti 1, and Z = 2. The Pt/sub 5/ cluster is a tetrahedron with the fifth Pt atom located over one of the edges; the structure of the cluster is similar to that previously investigated by Barbier et al, which is not isomorphous to the solvate of the same compound with three toluene molecules.
