Studies on metal-acetylene complexes IX. The structures of Pt(As(C6H5)3)2F3CCCCF3 and Pd(P(C6H11)3)2F3CCCCF3

The molecular structures of the complexes Pt(As(C6H5)3)2(F3CCCCF3), 1, and Pd(P(C6H11)3)2(F3CCCCF3), 2, have been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data collected by counter methods. Crystals of 1 are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with Z = 4 in a cell of dimensions a = 11.373(2), b = 15.154(2), c = 21.171(3) Å and β = 96.74(1)°; those of 2 are also monoclinic, space group Cc, with Z = 4, and cell dimensions a = 21.168(4), b = …
