Abstract

The heterotrimetallic complex [Cu{trans-Pt(NH3)2(NHCOtBu)2}2](NO3)2 was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. The cationic complex consists two trans-[Pt(NH3)2(NHCOtBu)2] units and one Cu2+ ion, which are linearly held together by four bridging pivalamidate ligands. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 13.18(1) Å, b = 13.12(1) Å, c = 21.38(2) Å, β = 116.88(3)°Å, V = 3674(5) Å3, and Z = 4. The trimeric Pt–Cu–Pt cation further aggregates into a dimer of trimer via a weak Pt···Pt interaction.
