title: Bis(phenanthridinium) hexa-chloridoplatinate(IV) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(10)N)(2)[PtCl(6)]·2C(2)H(6)OS, contains one independent protonated phenanthridinium cation, half of a centrosymmetric [PtCl(6)](2-)anion and one dimethyl sulfoxide solvent mol-ecule. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions seem to be effective in the stabilization of the structure.
