cis-Diammine(glycolato-κ2O1,O2)platinum(II)

The reaction of cis-[Pt(NO3)2(NH3)2] and sodium glycolate yielded the title compound, [Pt(C2H2O3)(NH3)2]. The PtII 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...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
