Abstract: The title compound, [Pt(NO₃)₂(C₂H₆S)₂], crystallizes in the P2₁/n space group (Z' = 2), with pseudo-square-planar coordination geometry. The complex forms dimers with pseudosymmetry C_i arranged in columns along the b-axis direction, with PtPt distances of 6.3056 (3) and 4.2382 (2) Å (at 150 K). Each column is surrounded by six other columns in a honeycomb rod-like packing. The coordination mode of the nitrate ligands is monodentate, with Pt-O-N angles ranging from 117 to 118° and a tilt between the nitrate ligands and the coordination planes in the range 63-70° (at 150 K). The coordination mode of the nitrate ligands is compared with that observed in reported Pt(NO₃)₂L₂ complexes (where L is a ligand with a donor atom from group 15 or 16), all of which are monodentate, with an average Pt-O-N angle of 118 (2)° and a tilt in the range 90 ± 30° (with two exceptions, in which the nitrates are approximately in the coordination plane).

Formula: [Pt(NO₃)₂(C₂H₆S)₂]
