-Phase of 1-(4-bromobenzyl)pyridinium bis(1,2-dicyanoethene-1,2-dithiolato-²S,S')platinate(III)

Y.-C. Chen and X.-M. Ren

Abstract: The title compound, (C₁₂H₁₁BrN)[Pt(C₄N₂S₂)₂], is a new polymorphic modification, viz. the -phase; the -phase has been published recently [Ren et al. (2004). Inorg. Chem. 43, 2569-2576]. In the -phase, the anions and cations form segregated columnar stacks along the a axis, which is similar to the -phase. Compared with the -phase, the significant structural differences in the -phase relate to the molecular conformation of the cation and the stacking architecture of both anions and cations.
