Abstract
The synthesis and crystal structure of the title organic charge-transfer salt (TTF)[Pt(mnt)2] (TTF = tetrathiafulvalene; mnt = cis-3,4-dimercapto-2-butenedinitrile) is described. The salt crystallizes in the P-1 space group with a = 7.9174(13) Å, b = 11.1583(18) Å, c = 11.2600(18) Å, α = 107.490(3)°, β = 91.631(3)°, and γ = 94.980(3)°. The stoichiometry between TTF and [Pt(mnt) 2] is 1:1. The structure of (TTF)[Pt(mnt)2] consists of alternating stacks of dimerised TTF+ cations and dimerised [Pt(mnt)2]- anions, linked together by many kinds of short contacts and hydrogen bonds. Both the dimerised TTF+ cations and dimerised [Pt(mnt)2]- anions are arranged in a parallel face-to-face mode.
