Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of chlorido­(2,6-di­methyl­phenyl isocyanide)[N′-(2,6-di­methyl­phen­yl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)carbamimido­yl]platinum(II)

Abstract

The coordination geometry around the platinum atom is square-planar. In the crystal, dimers with R²₂(8) motifs, formed by pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, are connect to each other through pairs of weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, forming a R²₂(16) motif and creating parallel ribbons along the [011] axis direction. The mol­ecular pairs are connected by C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions, forming parallel ribbons along the b-axis direction.

In the title compound, [Pt(C₁₄H₁₄N₃)Cl(C₉H₉N)], the platinum atom has a square-planar geometry. In the crystal, dimers with R²₂(8) motifs are formed by pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. They are connected to each other through pairs of weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, forming a R²₂(16) motif, creating parallel ribbons along the [011] axis. The mol­ecular pairs are also linked by C—H⋯π and by π–π inter­actions, the shortest centroid-centroid distance [3.513 (2) Å] being observed between pyridyl rings. These weak inter­actions form parallel ribbons along the [010] axis. The resulting three-dimensional network ensures the cohesion of the crystal structure. Hirshfeld two-dimensional fingerprint plots revealed that the most significant inter­actions are H⋯H (58.0%), C⋯H/H⋯C (17.9%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (10.7%), N⋯H/H⋯N (6.9%), C⋯C (2.9%), Pt⋯H/H⋯Pt (2.6%), and N⋯C/C⋯N (1.1%) contacts.
