Abstract: Dichloro(4,4'-dipentyl-2,2'-bipyridine- [kappa] ²N,N')platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₂₀H₂₈N₂)], adopts a discrete [pi] - [pi] stacking structure, where the alkyl chains are located in a random manner. In contrast, dichloro(4,4'-diheptyl-2,2'-bipyridine- [kappa] ²N,N')platinum(II), [PtCl₂(C₂₄H₃₆N₂)], forms a layer structure comprised of alkyl chain layers and paired coordination sites, as observed for analogous complexes with longer alkyl chains.

Formula: [PtCl₂(C₂₀H₂₈N₂)] and [PtCl₂(C₂₄H₃₆N₂)]
