(Acridine-κN)(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)diiodidoplatinum(II)

In the title complex, [PtI(2)(C(13)H(9)N)(C(2)H(6)OS)], the Pt(II) atom is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar environment defined by the N atom of the acridine ligand, the S atom of dimethyl sulfoxide, and two iodide ions. The dihedral angle between the nearly planar PtI(2)NS unit [maximum deviation = 0.083 (2) Å] and the acridine ligand [maximum deviation = 0.038 (6) Å] is 89.29 (7)°. In the crystal structure, the complex mol­ecules are arranged in a V-shaped packing pattern along the c axis and linked by inter­molecular C—H⋯O contacts into supra­molecular chains. There are also several inter­molecular π–π inter­actions between the six-membered rings, with a shortest ring centroid–centroid distance of 3.804 (5) Å.
