(Acetato-O)(2,2'-bipyridine-²N,N')trimethylplatinum(IV) monohydrate

C. Vetter, C. Wagner and D. Steinborn

Abstract: In the title hydrate, [Pt(CH₃)₃(CH₃COO)(C₁₀H₈N₂)]·H₂O, the Pt^IV atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination geometry built up by three methyl ligands in a facial arrangement, a bipyridine ligand and a monodentately bound acetate ligand. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds are observed between the water molecule and the platinum complex, which link the molecules into chains along the c axis.
