Crystal structure of trans-dichlorido(4-nitroaniline-κN1)(piperidine-κN)platinum(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [PtCl2(C5H11N)(C6H6N2O2)], the PtII metal atom displays a slightly distorted trans-PtN2Cl2 square-planar coordination geometry. The dihedral angle between the mean plane of the benzene and piperidine rings is 89.03 (3)°. In the crystal structure, inversion dimers are formed via N—H...Cl hydrogen-bond interactions, resulting in chains parallel to the [001] direction. The benzene rings within the chains show π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.801 (3) Å] and neighbouring chains interact via N—H...O hydrogen bonds.
