The structure of the dinuclear complex [Pt2I4(TEPOP)2] (TEPOP = tetraethyldiphosphite) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The two platinum atoms are doubly bridged by two (EtO)2POP(OEt)2 ligands and constitute an eightmembered ring. The platinum atoms have a square-planar geometry, which are completed by two phosphorous and two iodine atoms in a mutually cis arrangement.
