title: trans-Diiodobis(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane)platinum(II).
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, trans-[PtI(2)(C(6)H(12)N(3)P)(2)], describes one of the few platinum(II) complexes containing two of the water-soluble 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane ligands reported to date. The complex crystallizes on an inversion centre with the most important bond lengths and angles being Pt-P 2.3128 (12) A, Pt-I 2.6022 (6) A, P-Pt-I 90.94 (3) degrees and P'-Pt-I 89.06 (3) degrees.
