Dichlorido(2,3-di-2-pyridyl-pyrazine-?N,N)platinum(II).

ABSTRACT: The Pt(II) ion in the title complex, [PtCl(2)(C(14)H(10)N(4))], is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar environment by two N atoms of a chelating 2,3-di-2-pyridyl-pyrazine ligand and two chloride anions. The pyridyl ring coordinated to the Pt(II) atom is inclined slightly to its carrier pyrazine ring [dihedral angle = 13.5?(1)°], whereas the uncoordinated pyridyl ring is inclined considerably to the pyrazine ring [dihedral angle = 54.3?(2)°]. The dihedral angle between the two pyridyl rings is 59.2?(2)°. In the crystal, the complexes are assembled through inter-molecular C-H?N and C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. Intra-molecular C-H?N and C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds are also present.
