The Crystal Structure, Absolute Configuration and Circular Dichroism of (−)630CD- and (+)630CD-cis-Bis[2-(2-benzoxazolyl)phenol-N]dichloroplatinum(II)·ethanol

The crystals of the title complex resolve spontaneously. The enantiomeric crystals were separated under a microscope. They are orthorhombic, space group P212121. This is a square planar complex with 2Cl in cis-positions. The ligand acts as a unidentate with its N atom. The absolute configuration was correlated with the CD spectrum in microcrystalline state.
