Tetrabromido(di-2-pyridylamine-²N²,N^2')platinum(IV)

Abstract: The Pt^IV ion in the title complex, [PtBr₄(C₁₀H₉N₃)], is six-coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral environment by two pyridine N atoms from a chelating di-2-pyridylamine (dpa) ligand and four Br^- anions. The complex molecule has mirror symmetry, with the Pt^IV atom, two Br atoms and the central N atom of the dpa ligand lying on the mirror plane. The dpa ligand is not planar, showing a dihedral angle of 34.7 (2)° between the pyridine rings. The complex molecules are connected by intermolecular N-HBr hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [001]. Intermolecular C-HBr hydrogen bonds and - interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.667 (4) Å] are also observed.
