A new platinum–bromine cyclohexanediamine complex from the family of cancer cytostatics

Abstract

Another new substance from the family of Pt-based coordination complexes with potential use in cancer chemotherapy has been synthesized, crystallized and structurally characterized. In this compound {systematic namecis-dibromido[(1R,2R)-cyclohexane-1,2-diamine-κ2N,N′]platinum(II)},cis-[PtBr2(C6H14N2)], there are two molecules with very similar conformations in the asymmetric unit. The component species interact by way of N—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds to give two-dimensional networks which lie parallel to the (100) plane.
