Crystal structure of chlorido(piperidine-κN)(quinoline-2-carboxylato-κ2N,O)platinum(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [Pt(C10H6NO2)Cl(C5H11N)], crystallizes with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The PtII cation has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment defined by a chloride anion, the quinoline N atom and a carboxylate O atom of the bidentate quinaldate ligand and a piperidine N atom. An intramolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, molecules are stacked into columns along the c axis by the formation of N—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
