title: cis-Dichloro(dimethyl sulfoxide-S)(2-methoxypyridine-N)platinum(II).
abstract: The title complex, [PtCl(2)(C(6)H(7)NO)(C(2)H(6)OS)], exhibits square-planar geometry. The plane of the pyridine ring makes a dihedral angle of 67.2 (3) degrees with the square plane of the metal center. The S-O bond is nearly aligned with the adjacent Pt-N bond, leaving the methyl groups of the dimethyl sulfoxide ligand to stagger the Pt-Cl bond.
