In title compound, [PtCl2(C15H21N3O2)2], the PtII cation, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two Cl− anions and two 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-5-(piperidin-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole ligands in a distorted Cl2N2 square-planar geometry. The dihydrooxadiazole and piperidine rings display envelope (with the non-coordinating N atom as the flap atom) and chair conformations, respectively. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into supramolecular chains running along the b axis. The piperidine ring is disordered over two positions with the occupancy ratio of 0.528 (4):0.472 (4).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
