title: Bis[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine-kappa2N,N')(piperidine-2-carboxylato-kappa2N,O)platinum(II)] sulfate.
abstract: The title compound, [Pt(C(6)H(10)NO(2))(C(5)H(14)N(2))](2)(SO(4)), crystallizes with two cations in the asymmetric unit. The two complex cations, which have a square-planar Pt(II) coordination, are chemically identical but differ slightly in the conformations of their amine groups. A neutral complex, viz. (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine-kappa(2)N,N')bis(2-piperidinecarboxylato-kappaN)platinum(II), is shown to form in solution and to change rapidly into the title compound.
