Synthesis and reactions
The complex is prepared by heating a mixture of potassium tetrachloroplatinate and phosphorous acid:[2]
- 2 K2PtCl4 + 8 H3PO3 → K4[Pt2(HO2POPO2H)4] + 8 HCl + 4 H2O
Several quat salt derivatives are known.[3][4]
The anion reacts with boron trifluoride to give the BF2-capped complex [Pt2(P2PO5)4(BF2)8]4-.[5]
The compound reacts with halogens to give Pt(III) dimers:
- K4[Pt2(HO2POPO2H)4 + Cl2 → K4[Pt2(HO2POPO2H)4Cl2]
With substoichiometric halogen, linear chain compounds result.
Structure
The pair of square-planar platinum(II) centers are bridged by four pyrophosphito (HO(O)POP(O)OH2-) ligands. The ligands interact via hydrogen bonds between the POH and P=O group. The Pt---Pt separation is 293 pm for the dihydrate. In the Pt(III) dichloride, the Pt-Pt distance is 270 pm, indicating Pt-Pt bonding.[1]
