trans-Dichlorido{3,4-dimethoxy-2-[(2,3-η)-prop-2-en-1-yl]benzene}(pyridine-κN)platinum(II)

Abstract

In the title organoplatinum(II) complex, [PtCl2(C5H5N)(C11H14O2)], the methyleugenol ligand only coordinates to the PtII atom through the ethylenic double bond. The coordination is completed by the N atom of the pyridine ligand and two Cl atoms positioned trans with respect to each other. The pyridine and benzene rings are inclined to one another by 68.6 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked via a number of C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to the bc plane.
