trans -Bis(4-amino-pyridine-κ N )bis-(quin-ox-aline-2,3-di-thiol-ato-κ 2 S , S ')platinum(IV) dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate.

In the structure of the title solvated complex, [Pt(C 8 H 4 N 2 S 2 ) 2 (C 5 H 6 N 2 ) 2 ]·C 2 H 6 OS or trans -[Pt(4- ap ) 2 (qdt) 2 ]·dmso (4- ap = 4-amino-pyridyl, C 5 H 6 N 2 ; qdt = quinoxaline-2,3-di-thiol-ate, C 8 H 4 N 2 S 2 ; dmso = dimethyl sulfoxide, C 2 H 6 OS) the centrosymmetric complex exhibits Pt-S distances in agreement with other Pt IV -S bond lengths found in platinum(IV) di-thiol-ene complexes. The qdt ligands have inter-molecular inter-actions with an amine hydrogen atom on a 4- ap ligand (hydrogen bonding) and have sandwich π-π inter-actions with a neighboring qdt ligand.
