K. Sakai, N. Akiyama and M. Mizota

Abstract: The Pt coordination plane in the title compound, [Pt(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₅H₆N₂)₂](NO₃)₂·2H₂O, is essentially planar and is nearly coplanar with the 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy) ligand. Two 2-aminopyridine ligands are bound to the Pt atom in a head-to-tail arrangement, and their planes are inclined with respect to the PtN₄ coordination plane by 74.4  (1) and 79.8  (1)°.
