Abstract

In the title compound, cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2]·C3H7NO, the metal complex mol­ecules are stacked parallel to the b axis, forming close Pt⋯Pt inter­actions of 3.4071 (7) and 3.5534 (8) Å and weak N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds between the ammine ligand and the Cl atoms of the neighboring complex. Conventional N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are formed between ammine ligands and the O atom of adjacent N,N-dimethyl­formamide mol­ecules. The crystal was found to be a split crystal and was analyzed using two domains related by a rotation of ca 4.4° about the reciprocal axis (−0.351 1.000 0.742) and refined to give a minor component fraction of 0.084 (6).

Comment

Cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II), also known as cisplatin, is a widely used anti-cancer drug that has been extensively studied since its clinical applications were first discovered (Reedijk, 2009). The structure of cisplatin was first determined crystallographically in 1966 (Milburn & Truter, 1966); a recent study has elaborated the structure of the two common polymorphs (Ting et al., 2010). A different DMF-solvate of cisplatin has been described previously (Raudaschl et al., 1983, Raudaschl et al. 1985, Raudaschl-Sieber et al. 1986). A crown ether complex of cisplatin has also been crystallographically characterized (Alston et al., 1985).

The title compound has a square-planar geometry (Fig. 1) and forms stacked chains along the crystallographic b axis with Pt—Pt distances of 3.4071 (7) and 3.5534 (8) Å and Pt—Pt—Pt angle of 156.90 (2) degrees as shown in Figures 2 and 3. Formation of extended platinum chains through stacking is a common motif in square-planar platinum compounds (Connick et al., 1997). Hydrogen bonds are formed between the ammine hydrogen atoms and the chlorine atoms on the closer of the two neighboring complexes. This type of hydrogen bonding has been proposed or observed in previous studies on cisplatin and related complexes (Milburn & Truter, 1966; Brammer et al., 1987; Ting et al., 2010).

Additional hydrogen bonds are formed between the ammine hydrogen atoms and the oxygen atom of the N,N-dimethylformamide as illustrated in Figure 4. Similar interactions are seen in the DMF-solvated cisplatin structure previously described (Raudaschl et al., 1983, Raudaschl et al., 1985, Raudaschl-Sieber et al., 1986). Interestingly, the previously described DMF solvate of cisplatin does not display stacking of the metal complexes seen in the title compound.

Experimental

The title complex was prepared by refluxing 2.00 g (4.82 mmol) of K2[PtCl4] with 1.60 g (20.8 mmol) of ammonium acetate and 2.0 g (26.8 mol) of KCl in 25 ml of water for two hours, during which the solution changed from a dark red to green. The solution was hot filtered and a greenish-yellow powder formed on cooling. The powder was recrystallized by vapor diffusion of diethylether into a DMF solution of the complex yielding yellow-orange crystals. Infrared spectra were in agreement with literature values (Nakamoto et al., 1965)

Data sets on multiple crystals showed evidence of at least two independent domains, either from agglomeration or from the crystal being cracked or split, perhaps during rapid cooling to 200 K.

Refinement

The matrix relating the two domains, [1.007 0.033 - 0.041 - 0.010 1.013 - 0.022 0.118 0.060 0.975], corresponding to a rotation of 4.4 degrees about the reciprocal axis (-0.351 1.000 0.742), was determined using the CELL_NOW program (Bruker AXS, 2009). Integration and absorption correction (TWINABS, Bruker AXS 2009) gave 1558 unique reflections in domain 1, 1560 unique reflections in domain 2, and 211 unique overlapping reflections, or 14 percent overlapping reflections. The structure was solved using merged reflections from both domains (type HKLF 4 in SHELXL-97). The structure was refined using corrected reflections from only the major component including overlaps (type HKLF 5 in SHELXL-97).

Refinement produced a minor component fraction of 0.084 (6). All hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically and refined with the atom positions constrained to appropriate positions with N—H distances of 0.91 Å and C—H distances of either 0.95 Å (amide) or 0.98 Å (methyl groups). A riding model was used for all H atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2 times Uiso (amine, amide) or 1.5 times Uiso (methyl carbon atoms).

Special details

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
