title: trans-Bis(3-acetylpyridine-kappaN)diiodoplatinum(II).
abstract: In the square-planar title complex, [PtI2(C7H7NO)2], the Pt atom lies on a crystallographic inversion center, coinciding with an anti arrangement of the 3-acetylpyridine ligands. The dihedral angles between the pyridine rings and the Pt coordination plane are 67.5 (2) degrees, while those between the pyridine rings and the acetyl planes are 20.8 (5) degrees. The 195Pt NMR resonance of the title complex (CD2Cl2) was observed at -3224 p.p.m. The major structural parameters are compared with those from previously reported related structures.
