title: Unassisted eta2-coordination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to platinum(II).
abstract: The coordination of phenanthrene to the d8 Pt(II) center in (SP-4-2)-[Pt(C6F5)2(CO)(eta2-C14H10)] causes a slight pyramidalization at the metal-bound C atoms (C9 and C10), but no perceptible elongation of the corresponding C-C bond [C(13)-C(14) 132.0(5) vs. 133.8(5) pm in the free ligand].
