2N,O)platinum(IV) acetonitrile solvateThe asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PtCl2(C6H4NO2)2]·CH3CN, contains a neutral PtIV complex and an acetonitrile solvent molecule. In the complex, the Pt4+ atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment by two N atoms and two O atoms from two pyridinecarboxylate (pic) ligands and two Cl atoms. The Cl atoms are cis with respect to each other. The compound displays inter- and intramolecular C-H
O and C-H
Cl hydrogen bonding.
A suspension of K2PtCl6 (0.2148 g, 0.442 mmol) and pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (0.2000 g, 1.459 mmol) in H2O (10 ml) was refluxed for 5 h. The formed precipitate was separated by filtration and washed with water (20 ml) and dried under vacuum, to give a pale green powder (0.2304 g). Colorless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from a CH3CN solution.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and allowed to ride on their respective parent atoms [C—H = 0.93 (aromatic) or 0.96 Å (CH3) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(methyl C)].

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PtCl2(C6H4NO2)2].CH3CN, contains a neutral PtIV complex and a CH3CN solvent molecule (Fig. 1). In the complex, the Pt4+ ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral environment by two N atoms and two O atoms from two pyridinecarboxylate (pic) anion ligands and two Cl atoms. The Cl atoms are disposed in the cis position. The main contributions to the distortion are the tight O—Pt—N chelate angles (82.32 (14)° and 82.16 (13)°), which result in non-linear trans axes (<Cl1—Pt1—N1 = 175.68 (10)°, <Cl2—Pt1—O3 = 178.67 (10)° and <O1—Pt1—N2 = 173.39 (14)°). The different trans effects of the Cl, O and N atoms are not distinct, because the Pt1—Cl, Pt1—O and Pt1—N bond lengths are almost equal (Pt1—Cl: 2.3003 (13) and 2.2910 (14) Å; Pt1—O 1.999 (3) and 2.022 (3) Å; Pt1—N 2.025 (4) and 2.013 (3) Å), respectively (Table 1). The compound displays inter- and intramolecular C—H···O and C—H···Cl hydrogen bonding (Table 2 and Fig. 2). There may also be weak intermolecular π-π interactions between adjacent pyridine rings, with a shortest centroid-centroid distance of 5.223 (4) Å.
