cis-Diamminedichloridoplatinum(II) N,N-dimethylformamide monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, cis-[PtCl₂(NH₃)₂]·C₃H₇NO, the metal complex molecules are stacked parallel to the b axis, forming close Pt-Pt interactions of 3.4071 (7) and 3.5534 (8) A and weak N—H-Cl hydrogen bonds between the ammine ligand and the Cl atoms of the neighboring complex. Conventional N—H-O hydrogen bonds are formed between ammine ligands and the O atom of adjacent N,N-dimethylformamide molecules. The crystal was found to be a split crystal and was analyzed using two domains related by a rotation of ca 4.4° about the reciprocal axis (-0.351 1.000 0.742) and refined to give a minor component fraction of 0.084 (6).
