(2,2′-Bipyridine)(1,2-dicyanoethene-1,2-dithiolato)platinum(II)

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Pt(C4N2S2)(C10H8N2)], the complex molecules pack as head-to-tail/inversion dimers, which are stabilized by HOMO–LUMO interactions and a Pt...Pt distance of 3.6625 (8) Å. The dimers are linked by C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the (101) plane.
