On the cis ® trans isomerization of the square-planar [Pt(Cl)(SnCl3)(PH3)2] compound: ab initio gas phase reaction mechanism and solvent effects using continuum models

The cis -> trans isomerization of the d8 square planar [Pt(Cl)(SnCl3)(PH3)2 ] compound was investigated at the MP4(SDQ)//MP2 level of theory. The optimized structures located on the gas-phase potential energy surface indicate that this reaction proceeds through a quasi-tetrahedral transition stat...
