Synthesis and X-ray structure of an octahedral platinum-silver cluster [(Ph3P)2N]2[Pt2Ag4Cl2(C2Ph)8] with disordered silver atoms

► [Pt2Ag4Cl2(C2Ph)8]2− self-assembled from cis-[PtCl2(AsPh3)2] and [Ag(C2Ph)2]−. ► trans-Octahedral Pt2Ag4 cluster. ► Ag4 tetragon librates in its plane. ► X-ray study at 4 temperatures: disorder increases with T.
