cis-Dichloridobis(quinoline-κN)­platinum(II) nitro­methane monosolvate

In the title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(9)H(7)N)(2)]·CH(3)NO(2), the Pt(II) cation is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar environment by two N atoms from two quinoline ligands and two Cl(−) anions. One of the nearly planar quinoline ligands [maximum deviations = 0.042 (6) and 0.018 (7) Å] is almost perpendicular to the PtCl(2)N(2) unit [maximum deviation = 0.024 (3) Å], making a dihedral angle of 89.6 (1)°, whereas the other is slightly inclined to the central plane with a dihedral angle of 74.1 (1)°. The dihedral angle between the quinoline ligands is 88.3 (2)°. In the crystal, each solvent mol­ecule is linked to the metal complex by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
