The preparation and crystal structure of trans-bis(sulphinylnitrilo)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II): trans-[Pt(NSO)2(PPh3)2]

Abstract
Reaction of (η2-ethene)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(0) with Hg(NSO)2 yields trans-bis(sulphinylnitrilo)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum-(II); the NSO ligands are σ-bonded.
