Crystal structure of chlorido­(piperidine-κN)(quinoline-2-carboxyl­ato-κ(2) N,O)platinum(II)

The title compound, [Pt(C(10)H(6)NO(2))Cl(C(5)H(11)N)], crystallizes with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The Pt(II) cation has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment defined by a chloride anion, the quinoline N atom and a carboxyl­ate O atom of the bidentate quinaldate ligand and a piperidine N atom. An intra­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, mol­ecules are stacked into columns along the c axis by the formation of N—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
