cis-Bis[(1-adamantylmethyl)amine-κN]dichloridoplatinum(II) N,N-dimethylformamide solvate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound {systematic name: cis-dichloridobis[(3,7-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]non-1-ylmethyl)amine-κN]platinum(II) N,N-dimethylformamide solvate}, [PtCl2(C11H19N)2]·C3H7NO, consists of two metrically similar Pt complexes and two dimethylformamide solvent molecules. Each PtII center is coordinated by the amine groups of two (1-adamantylmethyl)amine ligands and two Cl atoms in a cis-square-planar arrangement. The PtII centers lie slightly outside [0.031 (4) and 0.038 (4) Å] the coordination planes. The N—Pt—N and Cl—Pt—Cl angles [92.1 (4)–92.30 (11)°] are slightly more open than the N—Pt—Cl angles [87.3 (3)–88.3 (3)°]. N—H...O and N—H...Cl intermolecular hydrogen bonds are observed, forming two discrete pairs of complexes and solvent molecules.
