Crystal structure of {bis­[2-(3,5-di­methyl­pyrazol-1-yl-κN (2))eth­yl]amine-κN}chlorido­platinum(II) chloride dihydrate

The title complex, [PtCl(C(14)H(23)N(5))]Cl·2H(2)O, is isomorphous with the Pd(II) compound characterized previously [Mendoza, Bernès & Mendoza-Díaz (2006 ▸). Acta Cryst. E62, m2934–m2936]. The angle between pyrazole mean planes in the main ligand is 88.3 (4)°, similar to that observed in the Pd(II) analogue [87.62 (11)°]. This tridentate ligand adopts a conformation approximating a twofold symmetry, allowing its coordination to the metal atom, together with a chloride ligand, in an almost perfect square-planar geometry. A chloride anion and two water mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit form a hydrogen-bonded network connected to the complex mol­ecules in the crystal via the NH amine groups, forming chains along [100].
