The preparation, crystal lattice type, and electrical conductivity of a number of partially oxidized tetracyanoplatinate (POTCP) complexes containing the (FHF)/sup -/ ion are reported. All compounds were prepared in aqueous solutions by oxidation of the Pt(II) salt, M/sub 2/(Pt(CN)/sub 4/), either with hydrogen peroxide or electrolytically in the presence of MF and HF (M = potassium, rubidium, or cesium). Single-crystal electrical conductivities (4 probe) show that those complexes with the shorter Pt--Pt separations and correspondingly higher degree of partial oxidation also appear to have higher conductivities. The Pt--Pt bond lengths vary from 2.798 in the rubidium complex to 2.923 in the potassium complex.
