Fig. 9.5 1D chain structures of [Pt 2 (RCS 2 ) 4 I] 1 (R ¼ n -Pr (3), n -Bu (4), n -Pen (5)) in the RT
phase with an atomic numbering scheme and relevant interatomic distances (thermal ellipsoid set
at the 50 % probability level) [ 33 - 35 ]. Crystallographic mirror planes perpendicular to the 1D
chain exist on the I1 atoms and the midpoint of Pt3 and Pt3 0 atoms (i.e., z ¼
0, 0.5, 1)
mirror planes perpendicular to the 1D chain exist on the I1 atoms and the midpoint
of Pt3 and Pt3 0 atoms (i.e., z ¼
0, 0.5, 1). Therefore, the ligand moieties including
sulfur atoms bonded to Pt3-Pt3 0 units are disordered on two positions and the
twisting directions of two PtS 4 planes of adjacent dinuclear Pt1-Pt2 units in the
1D chain are opposite to each other. Two platinum atoms are bridged by four
dithiohexanato ligands in a paddle-wheel fashion with Pt-Pt distances of Pt1-Pt2

2.689 (1) ˚ . The twist angles between two PtS 4 planes
are 21.45(7) for a Pt1-Pt2 unit and
2.679 (1) and Pt3-Pt3 0 ¼
20.3(2) for a Pt3-Pt3 0 unit, respectively.

2.959 (1) ˚ . Generally, a Pt 2+ -I distance is greater than a Pt 3+ -I distance
because the d z 2 orbital of the Pt 2+ site is occupied by a pair of electrons. Therefore,
the difference between Pt-I bonds enables us to determine the valence state of Pt
atoms. Taking into account the small but significant differences in the Pt-I and
Pt-Pt distances, the valence-ordered state of the platinum atoms in the threefold
periodic structure may be regarded as an extreme model of -I -Pt 2+ -Pt 3+ -I -Pt 2.5+
-Pt 2.5+ -I -Pt 3+ -Pt 2+ -I -. In such a valence state, a band gap formation occurs
due to the structural distortion and the unpaired electrons on the adjacent Pt 3+ sites
are expected to take a singlet state due to the strong antiferromagnetic coupling
through the bridging iodine atom. However, as described later, the RT and HT
phases of 4 and 5 are a metallic or highly conductive paramagnetic state and diffuse
streaks with the twofold periodicity of a -Pt-Pt-I- period were observed in the
those RT and HT phases, indicating the presence of the valence fluctuation having
the twofold periodicity of a -Pt-Pt-I- period [ 35 , 54 ]. The RT phases of 4 and 5
should consequently be assigned to the valence-ordered state close to the AV state.
On the other hand, the compound 3 at room temperature exhibits the Bragg
reflections with the twofold periodicity of a -Pt-Pt-I- period instead of diffuse
streaks, indicating that 3 takes the valence-localized state corresponding to ACP or

The three Pt-I distances are Pt1-I1
