Based upon the experimentally known but yet unexplained very different reactivities of the two isoelectronic and isolobal intermediates Pt(PMe3)2 and Pt(PEt3)2, the electronic structure and bonding capability of such 14 electron fragments as a function of their geometry (P-Pt-P angle α, determined by the phosphane cone angle) are investigated using molecular orbital calculations. A decrease of the P-Pt -P angle leads to an exceptionally pronounced energy ascent of the b2-HOMO of Pt(PR3)2 species, which, as a consequence, might lead to unusual reactivity patterns and bonding capabilities of 1,3-diphosphaplatinacyclobutane fragments, for which an extreme electronic situation is enforced by steric constraints. Dichloro[η2-bis(di-r-butylphosphino) methane]platinum(II), Pt(dtbpm)Cl2, is synthesized as a potential precursor of Pt(dtbpm), in order to allow experimental investigations of this taylor made four-membered ring chelate complex of Pt(0). The crystal and molecular structure of Pt(dtbpm)Cl2 · 2 CHCl3 has been determined by X-ray diffraction.

The title charge-transfer complex crystallizes in the ratio of two molecules of azo dyestuff to one molecule of naphthalene. The crystals are triclinic, space group P1, lattice parameters a = 7.953(1), b = 11.608(2), c = 11.717(2) Å, α = 101.89(2), β = 94.27(2), γ = 109.91(2)°, Z = 2. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined anisotropically to R = 0.054 for 1 768 unique observed reflections. Crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals forces and partly by π-π stacking interaction among naphthalene, phenyl and pyridine ring of pyridon azo dyestuff.

The reaction of some tetra-substituted dithiooxamides R2NC(S)C(S)NR2 (R = CH3:Me4dto; R = C2H5:Et4dto; R2N = OC4H8N:Mo2dto) with diiodine has been investigated by spectrophotometric methods in CHCl3. The formation in solution of 1:1 and 1:2 charge-transfer (c.t.) complexes between the reagents has been observed. A new computer program, derived from "SUPERQUAD" (P. Gans, A. Sabatini, and A. Vacca. J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. 1195 (1985)), has been applied to evaluate the formation constants. The 1:2 c.t. complexes have been isolated in the solid state, and an X-ray structure analysis of the [OC4H8NC(S)C(S)NC4H8O]•2I2 compound indicated that the crystals are triclinic, space groups [Formula: see text], with a = 14.659(6), b = 15.111(6), c = 9.317(5) Å, α = 92.29(2), β = 99.71(2), γ = 99.48(2)° and Z = 4. In particular the torsion angle S—C—C—S (≈90°) shows that the conformation of the dithiooxamide is not trans.
