title: (OC-6-35)-(2,2'-Bipyridine-κN,N')dimeth-yl(3-sulfido-propionato-κS,O)platinum(IV).
abstract: The title complex, [Pt(CH(3))(2)(SCH(2)CH(2)CO(2))(C(10)H(8)N(2))], is formed by the unusual oxidative addition of the disulfide, R(2)S(2) (R = CH(2)CH(2)CO(2)H), to (2,2'-bipyridine)-dimethyl-platin-um(II) with elimination of RSH. The product contains an unusual six-membered thiol-ate-carboxyl-ate chelate ring. This slightly distorted octa-hedral complex exhibits cis angles ranging from 77.55 (11) to 97.30 (8)° due to the presence of the thiol-ate-carboxyl-ate chelate ring and the constrained bipyridine group. The crystal packing appears to be controlled by a combination of π-stacking [centroid-centroid distance = 3.611 (2) Å] and C-H⋯O inter-actions.
