cis-{1-Butyl-3-[2-(phenyl-sulfan-yl)eth-yl]-4-imidazolin-2-yl-κ2 C 2,S'}di-chlorido-platinum(II).

ABSTRACT

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [PtCl2(C15H20N2S)], comprises one PtII ion, one N-heterocyclic carbene(NHC)-thio-ether ligand and two chloride ions. The PtII ion is four-coordinated by one C atom and one S atom of the NHC-thio-ether ligand, and by two chloride ions, forming an approximately square-planar geometry. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked via C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming a layer parallel to the ab plane.
