title: cis-Bis[(1-adamantylmeth-yl)amine-κN]-dichloridoplatinum(II) N,N-dimethyl-formamide solvate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound {systematic name: cis-dichloridobis[(3,7-dimethylbicyclo-[3.3.1]non-1-ylmeth-yl)-amine-κN]platinum(II) N,N-dimethyl-formamide solvate}, [PtCl(2)(C(11)H(19)N)(2)]·C(3)H(7)NO, consists of two metrically similar Pt complexes and two dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules. Each Pt(II) center is coordinated by the amine groups of two (1-adamantylmeth-yl)amine ligands and two Cl atoms in a cis-square-planar arrangement. The Pt(II) centers lie slightly outside [0.031 (4) and 0.038 (4) Å] the coordination planes. The N-Pt-N and Cl-Pt-Cl angles [92.1 (4)-92.30 (11)°] are slightly more open than the N-Pt-Cl angles [87.3 (3)-88.3 (3)°]. N-H⋯O and N-H⋯Cl inter-molecular hydrogen bonds are observed, forming two discrete pairs of complexes and solvent mol-ecules.
