Abstract

Extended Hückel molecular-orbital calculations are reported for the trigonal prismatic platinaboranes and carbaplatinaboranes [B₈Pt(PH₃)₂}H₈]^2- and [B₆C₂{Pt(PH₃)₂}H₈], and the observed conformations of these molecules have been accounted for in terms of the nodal characteristics of the frontier orbitals of the constituent Pt(PH₃)₂ and carbaborane fragments. A description of the bonding in the less symmetrical isomer of [B₆C₂{Pt(PH₃)₂}H₈] has been similarly derived from an analysis of the effect of transforming nido-[B₈H₈]^2- into arachno-[B₈H₈]^2-.
