title: Dichloridobis(pyridine-2-carboxyl-ato-κN,O)platinum(IV) acetonitrile solvate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(6)H(4)NO(2))(2)]·CH(3)CN, contains a neutral Pt(IV) complex and an acetonitrile solvent mol-ecule. In the complex, the Pt(4+) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment by two N atoms and two O atoms from two pyridine-carboxyl-ate (pic) ligands and two Cl atoms. The Cl atoms are cis with respect to each other. The compound displays inter- and intra-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding.
