Crystal structure of ?-1?C:2(?(2))-carbonyl-carbonyl-1?C-chlorido-2?Cl-?-chlorido-borylene-1:2?(2) B:B-[1(?(5))-penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dien-yl](tri-cyclo-hexyl-phosphane-2?P)iron(II)platinum(II) benzene monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the mol-ecular structure of the dinuclear title compound [?(5)-(C5(CH3)5)(CO)Fe{(?-BCl)(?-CO)}PtCl(P(C6H11)3)]·C6H6, the two metal atoms, iron(II) and platinum(II), are bridged by one carbonyl (?-CO) and one chlorido-borylene ligand (?-BCl). The Pt(II) atom is additionally bound to a chloride ligand situated trans to the bridging borylene, and a tri-cyclo-hexyl-phosphane ligand (PCy3) trans to the carbonyl ligand, forming a distorted square-planar structural motif at the Pt(II) atom. The Fe(II) atom is bound to a penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand [?(5)-C5(CH3)5] and one carbonyl ligand (CO), forming a piano-stool structure. Additionally, one benzene solvent mol-ecule is incorporated into the crystal structure, positioned staggered relative to the penta-methyl-cyclo-penta-dienyl ligand at the Fe(II) atom, with a centroid-centroid separation of 3.630?(2)?Å.
