Crystal structure of bis(acetonitrile-κN)(4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bipyridine-κ² N,N′)platinum(II) bis(tetrafluoridoborate) packing as head-to-head dimers

Abstract

The bulky tert-butyl groups of the dbbpy ligand do not preclude the formation of head-to-head dimers in the crystal structure of bis­(aceto­nitrile)(4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-bi­pyridine)­platinum(II) tetra­fluorido­borate.
