The reaction of with P4S3 yielded the trinuclear platinum complex 3>*C6H6 whose structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction.Crystals are triclinic, space group P1/, with Z=2 in a unit cell of dimensions a=21.414(12), b=15.450(9), c=15.670(9) Angstroem, α=121.71(9), β=94.22(8), and γ=107.50(9) deg.The final R factor was 0.069 for 3990 independent observed reflections.Insertion of a metal-ligand moiety into a P-P bond of the cage molecule occurs and a trinuclear structure is formed by sharing one P atom from such a bond between two Pt atoms.The Pt...Pt separations range from 4.05 to 4.22 Angstroem and the mean P...P distance after cleavage is 3.03(3) Angstroem.
