trans -Bis(4-amino-pyridine-κ N )bis-(quin-ox-aline-2,3-di-thiol-ato-κ 2 S , S ')platinum(IV) dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate

In the structure of the title solvated complex, [Pt(C H N S ) (C H N ) ]·C H OS or -[Pt(4- ) (qdt) ]·dmso (4- = 4-amino-pyridyl, C H N ; qdt = quinoxaline-2,3-di-thiol-ate, C H N S ; dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide, C H OS) the centrosymmetric complex exhibits Pt-S distances in agreement with other Pt -S bond lengths found in platinum(IV) di-thiol-ene complexes. The qdt ligands have inter-molecular inter-actions with an amine hydrogen atom on a 4- ligand (hydrogen bonding) and have sandwich π-π inter-actions with a neighboring qdt ligand.
