Trichlorido[4-methoxy-2,6-bis(2-pyrimidin-2-yl-κN)phenyl-κC¹]platinum(IV) acetonitrile monosolvate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Pt(C15H11N4O)Cl3]·CH3CN, the PtIV ion adopts a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry defined by a tridentate cyclo­metalated NCN ligand and three Cl atoms. In the crystal, individual mol­ecules are aggregated into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions and π–π stacking inter­actions between the tridentate ligands, the shortest ring centroid–centroid distance being 3.613 Å.
