title: Bis(acetonitrile-κN)(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')platinum(II) bis-(perchlorate).
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pt(CH(3)CN)(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))](ClO(4))(2), contains one half of a cationic Pt(II) complex and pair of half perchlorate anions, one of which is disordered over two sites in a 0.53 (3):0.47 (3) ratio. The complex and anions are disposed about a crystallographic mirror plane parallel to the ac plane passing through the Pt and Cl atoms. In the complex, the Pt(II) ion lies in a distorted square-planar environment defined by four N atoms of the chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and two distinct acetonitrile mol-ecules. The component ions inter-act by means of inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
