Cis-Diammine(Glycolato-Kappa O-2(1),O-2)Platinum(Ii)

The reaction of cis-[Pt(NO3)(2)(NH3)(2)] and sodium glycolate yielded the title compound, [Pt(C2H2O3)(NH3)(2)]. The Pt II atom, coordinated by two N atoms of ammine and two O atoms of the carboxylate and oxido groups of the glycolate ligand, is in a square-planar environment. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected by intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
