A neutral PtII complex, dichloro(1,4,7-trithiacyclodecane-S1,S7)platinum, [PtCl2(C7H14S3)], and a hydrated salt of a cationic PtII complex, bis(1,4,7-trithiacyclodecane-S1,S4)platinum dichloride heptahydrate, [Pt(C7H14S3)2]Cl2.7H2O, have been studied. The ten-membered heterocyclic ligand, 1,4,7-trithiacyclodecane (10S3), forms a six-membered chelate ring in the neutral complex, where the average Pt—S and Pt—Cl bond lengths are 2.255 (5) and 2.334 (4) Å, respectively, and the average weak axial Pt
S interaction distance is 3.137 (5) Å. The same ligand in the cationic complex forms two five-membered chelate rings in which the average length of the four equatorial Pt—S bonds is 2.296 (2) Å and the lengths of the two weak axial PtS bonds are 3.159 (2) Å.
