title: Synthesis, crystal structure and Raman spectrum of K(2)[(Pt(2))(HPO(4))(4)(H(2)O)(2)] containing (Pt(2)) ions.
abstract: In the crystal structure of the acid platinum phosphate dipotassium di-μ-hydrogenphosphato-bis-[aqua-platinum(III)](Pt-Pt), K(2)[Pt(2)(HPO(4))(4)(H(2)O)(2)], the (Pt(2))(6+) dumbbells within the paddle-wheel complex show Pt-Pt distances of 2.4944 (5) and 2.4892 (5) Å. The pottassium ions are seven-fold coordinated by hydrogenphosphate groups. In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to establish the packing. The Raman spectrum was recorded.
