Bromido(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine)platinum(II) dibromidoaurate(I) dimethyl sulfoxide solvate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, [PtBr(C15H11N3)] [AuBr2]·(CH3)2SO, exhibits infinite chains of {PtAuPt} metallophilic inter-actions along the b axis. Two cations and one anion stack in a trimer with a unique Pt⋯Au distance of 3.3361 (5) Å and Pt⋯Pt contacts of 3.4335 (6) Å. The remaining [AuBr2]- anion forms no close contacts. © Kahn et al. 2009.
