title: Copolymerisation of Pt-carbonyl clusters with Lewis acids: synthesis and crystal structure of the molecular [Cd2Cl4[Pt9(CO)18]2-]infinity 1-D polymer.
abstract: Reaction of [NBu4]2[Pt9(CO)18] with the soft Lewis acid CdCl2 gives the [Pt9(CO)18(micro3-CdCl2)2]2- adduct, which self-assembles upon crystallization into a 1-D [[Pt9(CO)18(micro3-CdCl2)2]2-]infinity polymer via the formation of chloride bridges.
