Cis-Dichloridobis(quinoline-?N)-platinum(II) nitro-methane monosolvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)]·CH(3)NO(2), the Pt(II) cation is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar environment by two N atoms from two quinoline ligands and two Cl(-) anions. One of the nearly planar quinoline ligands [maximum deviations = 0.042?(6) and 0.018?(7)?Å] is almost perpendicular to the PtCl(2)N(2) unit [maximum deviation = 0.024?(3)?Å], making a dihedral angle of 89.6?(1)°, whereas the other is slightly inclined to the central plane with a dihedral angle of 74.1?(1)°. The dihedral angle between the quinoline ligands is 88.3?(2)°. In the crystal, each solvent mol-ecule is linked to the metal complex by weak inter-molecular C-H?O hydrogen bonds.
