(OC-6-33)-(2,2'-Bipyridine-²N,N')trimethyl(2-methylsulfanyl-2-thiazoline-N)platinum(IV) tetrafluoridoborate

C. Vetter, C. Bruhn and D. Steinborn

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title complex, [Pt(CH₃)₃(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₄H₇NS₂)]BF₄, contains two crystallographically independent molecules. The Pt^IV atom in each complex cation exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, built up by three methyl ligands in a facial binding fashion, a bipyridine ligand and a monodentately N-bound 2-methylsulfanyl-2-thiazoline ligand (configuration index: OC-6-33). In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C-HF hydrogen bonds are found between the complex cations and BF₄^- anions.
