Crystal structure of [Pt3S2(P(CH2OH)3)6](PF6)(OH)•H2O

[Pt3S2(P(CH2OH)(3))(6)](PF6)(OH)center dot H2O (1) is obtained by a reaction of [Pt3S2(P(CH2OH)(3))(6)]Cl-2 with NH4PF6. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by a single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis (space group R{ie638-1}c, a = 12.0042(2) , c = 52.6879(11) , V = 6575.2(2), Z = 6, C18H57F6O20P7Pt3S2, d (x) = 2.385 g/cm(3), T = 150 K, R (1) = 0.044 for 2123 F (0) > 4 delta(F) until 2 theta(max) = 63A degrees). The cations contain a {Pt-3(mu(3)-S)(2)}(2+) core with nonbonding PtaEuro broken vertical bar Pt distances of 3.1536(6) . The Pt atoms are in a square planar environment; the Pt-S and Pt-P bond lengths are 2.3586(16) and 2.260(2) respectively.
