title: Crystal structure of {bis-[2-(3,5-di-methyl-pyrazol-1-yl-κN (2))eth-yl]amine-κN}chlorido-platinum(II) chloride dihydrate.
abstract: The title complex, [PtCl(C14H23N5)]Cl·2H2O, is isomorphous with the Pd(II) compound characterized previously [Mendoza, Bernès & Mendoza-Díaz (2006 ▶). Acta Cryst. E62, m2934-m2936]. The angle between pyrazole mean planes in the main ligand is 88.3 (4)°, similar to that observed in the Pd(II) analogue [87.62 (11)°]. This tridentate ligand adopts a conformation approximating a twofold symmetry, allowing its coordination to the metal atom, together with a chloride ligand, in an almost perfect square-planar geometry. A chloride anion and two water mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit form a hydrogen-bonded network connected to the complex mol-ecules in the crystal via the NH amine groups, forming chains along [100].
