cis-Dichloridobis(methoxydiphenylphosphino)platinum(II)

This structure from St. Andrews University was done entirely by student Paul Waddell, and was one of his first two crystal structures ever. Paul was able to handle the data collection, structure solution and refinement using the SCXmini software suite. The structure was immediately submitted to and accepted by Acta Crystallographica.
