title: On the nature of the short Pt-Tl bonds in model compounds [H5Pt-TlHn]n-.
abstract: RHF, DFT and MP2 calculations are reported for the compounds [H5Pt-TlHn]n-, n = 0-2. These serve as analogues for the experimentally known [(NC)5Pt-Tl(CN)n](n-)-species. The very short bond between platinum and thallium is discussed.
