(2,2′-Bipyrimidine-κ(2) N (1),N (1′))bis­(thio­cyanato-κN)platinum(II)

In the title complex, [Pt(NCS)(2)(C(8)H(6)N(4))], the Pt(II) ion is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar environment defined by two pyrimidine N atoms derived from a chelating 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpym) ligand and two mutually cis N atoms from two SCN(−) anions. The thio­cyanate ligands are almost linear, displaying N—C—S bond angles of 178.6 (11) and 173.7 (11)°, and the N atoms are slightly bent coordinated to the Pt atom with Pt—N—C bond angles of 172.7 (9) and 160.4 (10)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are held together by C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. Intra­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are also observed
