title: Dichloro(norbornadiene)platinum(II): a comparison with dichloro(cyclooctadiene)platinum(II).
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, (bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene)dichloroplatinum(II), [PtCl2(C7H8)], has been determined from single-crystal X-ray analysis. The coordination sphere about the Pt atom is pseudo-square planar, with shorter Pt-C distances than in the corresponding dichloro(cyclooctadiene)platinum(II) complex.
