Dichloridobis[3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-5-(piperidin-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole-κN4]platinum(II)

Abstract

In title compound, [PtCl2(C15H21N3O2)2], the PtII cation, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two Cl− anions and two 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methyl-5-(piperidin-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole ligands in a distorted Cl2N2 square-planar geometry. The dihydrooxadiazole and piperidine rings display envelope (with the non-coordinating N atom as the flap atom) and chair conformations, respectively. In the crystal, weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into supramolecular chains running along the b axis. The piperidine ring is disordered over two positions with the occupancy ratio of 0.528 (4):0.472 (4).
