trans-Bis(4-amino-pyridine-κN)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.
