Bis(Phenanthridinium) Hexa-chloridoplatinate(IV) Dimethyl Sulfoxide Disolvate

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C13H10N)2[PtCl6] ·2C2H6OS, contains one independent protonated phenanthridinium cation, half of a centrosymmetric [PtCl6]2-anion and one dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol-ecule. Intra-molecular N - H⋯O and inter-molecular C - H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
