The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PtCl(4)(C(12)H(12)N(2))], contains one half-mol-ecule; a twofold rotation axis passes through the Pt atom and the mid-point of the C-C bond linking the two rings. The Pt(IV) atom is six-coordinated in an octa-hedral configuration by two N atoms of the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four terminal Cl atoms. In the crystal structure, there are weak π-π inter-actions between pyridine rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 4.365 (3) Å. ...[more]
