Short, linear chains of five platinum atoms (platinum “needles”) appear in a zigzag arrangement, interspersed by isolated tetracyanoplatinate ions.crystal structure, x-ray diffractionA new polymorph of dicesium tetracyanoplatinate monohydrate with unusual platinum stackingtext::journal::journal article::research article
