trans-Bis(3-hydroxypyridine-κN)diiodidoplatinum(II) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [PtI2(C5H5NO)2]·2(CH3)2SO, the PtII ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment by two trans iodide ligands and two pyridine N atoms. In the crystal, complex molecules and solvent dimethyl sulfoxide molecules are linked by intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
