title: Bromido[(1,2,5,6-η)-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene]methyl-platinum(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [PtBr(CH(3))(C(8)H(12))], the Pt(II) ion is in a distorted square-planar environment defined by the Br and methyl C atoms and the mid-points of the two π-coordinated double bonds of cyclo-octa-1,5-diene. As a result of the different trans influences of the Br atom and the methyl group, the Pt-C bonds trans to the methyl group [2.262 (11) and 2.261 (10) Å] are longer than those trans to the Br atom [2.118 (8) and 2.138 (9) Å].
