I...pi halogen-bonding in the structures of platinum-alkynyl compounds: an overlooked supramolecular interaction.
The crystal structures of both a symmetric and an unsymmetric platinum--alkynyl compound with terminal iodophenyl functionalities have been determined, and found to exhibit an attractive interaction between the iodine atom and the carbon-carbon triple bond of the alkynyl ligand.
