Trans-Dichloridobis(quinoline-?N)platinum(II).

ABSTRACT: In the title complex, trans-[PtCl(2)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)], the Pt(II) ion is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar coordination environment defined by two N atoms from two quinoline (qu) ligands and two Cl(-) anions. The Pt atom is located on an inversion centre and thus the asymmetric unit contains one half of the complex; the PtN(2)Cl(2) unit is exactly planar. The dihedral angle between the PtN(2)Cl(2) unit and the quinoline ligand is 85.1?(1)°. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are stacked into columns along the b axis. In the columns, several inter-molecular ?-? inter-actions between the six-membered rings are present, the shortest ring centroid-centroid distance being 3.733?(5)?Å between pyridine rings.
