cis-Bis[(1-adamantylmethyl)amine-N]dichloridoplatinum(II) N,N-dimethylformamide solvate

F. D. Rochon and C. Tessier

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound {systematic name: cis-dichloridobis[(3,7-dimethylbicyclo[3.3.1]non-1-ylmethyl)amine-N]platinum(II) N,N-dimethylformamide solvate}, [PtCl₂(C₁₁H₁₉N)₂]·C₃H₇NO, consists of two metrically similar Pt complexes and two dimethylformamide solvent molecules. Each Pt^II center is coordinated by the amine groups of two (1-adamantylmethyl)amine ligands and two Cl atoms in a cis-square-planar arrangement. The Pt^II centers lie slightly outside [0.031 (4) and 0.038 (4) Å] the coordination planes. The N-Pt-N and Cl-Pt-Cl angles [92.1 (4)-92.30 (11)°] are slightly more open than the N-Pt-Cl angles [87.3 (3)-88.3 (3)°]. N-HO and N-HCl intermolecular hydrogen bonds are observed, forming two discrete pairs of complexes and solvent molecules.
