title: [NO3[symbol: see text]{(en)Pt(2,2'-bpz)}3]NO3(SO4)2: snapshot of nitrate insertion into a cationic Pt3 metallacycle or simply a packing effect?
abstract: The X-ray crystal structure of [{(en)Pt(2,2'-bpz,N4,N4')}(3)](NO(3))(2)(SO(4))(2) x 13 H(2)O (3) reveals a NO(3)(-) ion sandwiched between pyrazine moieties and oriented roughly perpendicular to the Pt(3) plane, which is in contrast to the in-plane orientation of NO(3)(-) when a second anion (ClO(4)(-)) is taken up by the Pt(3) metallacycle simultaneously.
