trans-Diamminebis(1,2-dicyanoethene-1,2-dithiolato)platinum(IV)

Abstract

The title compound, [Pt(C4N2S2)2(NH3)2], represents an octahedral platinum(IV) complex with two trans-ammine and two mnt (mnt = 1,2-dicyanoethene-1,2-dithiolato) ligands. The Pt—N and Pt—S distances are consistent with those in other platinum(IV) complexes. As a result of a slight canting of the coordination of the mnt ligand to the platinum(IV) atom, the nitrile nitrogen atoms are positioned suitably to hydrogen-bond with adjacent ammines.
