Powder study of trans-tetra­chloridobis­(isopropyl­amine)platinum(IV)

The title compound, trans-[PtCl4(iso-NH2C3H7)2], was obtained by oxidation of trans-[PtCl2(iso-NH2C3H7)2] with chlorine gas. The crystal structure contains discrete centrosymmetric mononuclear complex mol­ecules, with PtIV in a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment. The slight distortion, as described by the angles at the PtIV atom, is due, in part, to intra­molecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding [N⋯Cl = 2.897 (12) A]. The Pt—N and Pt—Cl bond lengths are comparable to those in related structures. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are arranged in layers in the bc plane, with a shortest Pt⋯Pt distance of 6.1105 (1) A. The mol­ecules are organized so that isopropyl­amine ligands project from the layers, forming organic inter­layers.
