The title complex was prepared as described by Rotondo et al. (2004); colorless crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from acetone.
The space group of (I) was hypothesized to be centrosymmetric during the data-reduction procedure and finally confirmed by subsequent evaluation (Orpen et al., 1992). All H atoms were treated as riding, with methyl C—H distances of 0.96 Å and aromatic C—H distances of 0.93 Å. The Uiso(H) values were fixed by the `riding-model' technique, being 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms. The water molecule was located in a Fourier difference analysis and refined as a rigid group, while its occupancy factor was calculated by linking it to a free variable; the value found after ten least-squares cycles was fixed in order to reduce the number of parameters.
Many platinum complexes show biological properties related to their reactivity toward duplex DNA (Sundquist & Lippard, 1990). Beyond cisDDP (cisplatinum) activity (Harder & Rosenberg, 1970) due to the formation of covalent DNA complexes, some aromatic species were found to react with DNA through intercalation (Lerman, 1961). The intercalation was demonstrated to occur also for Pt coordination complexes bearing wide, flat aromatic groups (Barton & Lippard, 1979). The great interest in these substrates led to careful characterizations of metal complexes with extended flat moieties both by NMR and by X-ray crystallography; beyond the solid-state structure, the solution dynamic behavior is, of course, also related to their activity (Rotondo et al., 2003). Among the wide variety of complexes obtained using substituted pyridyls as ligands, those containing 6,7-dimethyl-2,3-bis-2-pyridylquinoxaline (DMeDPQ) were found to coordinate PtII as a symmetrical seven-membered bis(pyridyl)metal chelate ring (Escuer et al., 1989). The resulting `L-shaped' complexes possess intercalating properties (Cusumano et al., 2004). Moreover, the L-shaped skeleton is prochiral, so that the combination with non-symmetrical ancillary ligands gives optically active complexes. For the [Pt(DMeDPQ)(3-Mepy)2]2+ cation, 3-methylpyridyl (3-Mepy) ligands are roughly perpendicular to the coordination plane. When the methyl groups of the 3-Mepy ligands are on the same side of the coordination plane, two Cs symmetric conformations will be generated (syn-up and syn-down); alternatively, the methyl groups can be placed on opposite sides, resulting in the loss of the mirror plane and the consequent development of two chiral C1 enantiomeric conformers, anti-C and anti-A (see scheme).
Because the free 3-Mepy rotation is observed in solution, all of the four conformers give rise to an averaged NMR signal (Rotondo et al., 2004). In the solid state only the chiral conformers (perhaps because they are thermodynamically favoured) are detected, and since the space group is centrosymmetric, the crystal contains a racemic mixture. The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (I), is occupied by one PtII cation complex, two hexafluorophosphate ions, an acetone molecule and a water molecule with 50% occupancy. The metal is bound to four pyridyl N atoms (Table 1 and Fig. 1). The four coordinating N atoms are positioned around platinum(II) in the typical square-planar geometry, the maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.028?(5) Å (for N1). All the pyridyl rings are almost perfectly planar, as is the fused quinoline system. The angle between the metal coordination plane and the plane of the fused quinoline system is 75.8?(2)°, leading to the known L-shaped arrangement (Fig. 1). Even though all four pyridyl rings tend to flip away from the coordination plane, the strained DMeDPQ pyridyl rings are less tilted than free pyridyl ligands [the angles of the mean planes with respect to the coordination plane are 71.4?(3) and 70.2 ?(3)° versus 81.3?(3) and 83.1?(3)°, respectively]. This configuration confirms the previous hypothesis of Rotondo et al. (2004) regarding the stiffness of the DMeDPQ ligand often affecting partner ligands.
The crystal packing of (I) is mainly stabilized by conventional and unconventional intermolecular hydrogen interactions of types O—H···F, O—H···N and C—H···F (Table 2 and Fig. 2). The close proximity between an F atom and the metal centre should be noted [Pt1···F4 = 3.503?(1) Å, and the angle between the vector Pt1···F4 and the normal to the coordination plane is 8.1?(2)°]. This interaction characterizes many Pt complexes devoid of steric hindrance in the apical position; F4 is indeed located on the side opposite the cumbersome quinoline system. As is the case with most cationic complexes, the cations of (I) are held together mainly through interactions with anion and solvent groups (Fig. 2).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |

Many platinum complexes show biological properties related to their reactivity toward duplex DNA (Sundquist & Lippard, 1990). Beyond cisDDP (cisplatinum) activity (Harder & Rosenberg, 1970) due to the formation of covalent DNA complexes, some aromatic species were found to react with DNA through intercalation (Lerman, 1961). The intercalation was demonstrated to occur also for Pt coordination complexes bearing wide, flat aromatic groups (Barton & Lippard, 1979). The great interest in these substrates led to careful characterizations of metal complexes with extended flat moieties both by NMR and by X-ray crystallography; beyond the solid-state structure, the solution dynamic behavior is, of course, also related to their activity (Rotondo et al., 2003). Among the wide variety of complexes obtained using substituted pyridyls as ligands, those containing 6,7-dimethyl-2,3-bis-2-pyridylquinoxaline (DMeDPQ) were found to coordinate PtII as a symmetrical seven-membered bis(pyridyl)metal chelate ring (Escuer et al., 1989). The resulting `L-shaped' complexes possess intercalating properties (Cusumano et al., 2004). Moreover, the L-shaped skeleton is prochiral, so that the combination with non-symmetrical ancillary ligands gives optically active complexes. For the [Pt(DMeDPQ)(3-Mepy)2]2+ cation, 3-methylpyridyl (3-Mepy) ligands are roughly perpendicular to the coordination plane. When the methyl groups of the 3-Mepy ligands are on the same side of the coordination plane, two Cs symmetric conformations will be generated (syn-up and syn-down); alternatively, the methyl groups can be placed on opposite sides, resulting in the loss of the mirror plane and the consequent development of two chiral C1 enantiomeric conformers, anti-C and anti-A (see scheme).
Because the free 3-Mepy rotation is observed in solution, all of the four conformers give rise to an averaged NMR signal (Rotondo et al., 2004). In the solid state only the chiral conformers (perhaps because they are thermodynamically favoured) are detected, and since the space group is centrosymmetric, the crystal contains a racemic mixture. The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (I), is occupied by one PtII cation complex, two hexafluorophosphate ions, an acetone molecule and a water molecule with 50% occupancy. The metal is bound to four pyridyl N atoms (Table 1 and Fig. 1). The four coordinating N atoms are positioned around platinum(II) in the typical square-planar geometry, the maximum deviation from the mean plane being 0.028?(5) Å (for N1). All the pyridyl rings are almost perfectly planar, as is the fused quinoline system. The angle between the metal coordination plane and the plane of the fused quinoline system is 75.8?(2)°, leading to the known L-shaped arrangement (Fig. 1). Even though all four pyridyl rings tend to flip away from the coordination plane, the strained DMeDPQ pyridyl rings are less tilted than free pyridyl ligands [the angles of the mean planes with respect to the coordination plane are 71.4?(3) and 70.2 ?(3)° versus 81.3?(3) and 83.1?(3)°, respectively]. This configuration confirms the previous hypothesis of Rotondo et al. (2004) regarding the stiffness of the DMeDPQ ligand often affecting partner ligands.
The crystal packing of (I) is mainly stabilized by conventional and unconventional intermolecular hydrogen interactions of types O—H···F, O—H···N and C—H···F (Table 2 and Fig. 2). The close proximity between an F atom and the metal centre should be noted [Pt1···F4 = 3.503?(1) Å, and the angle between the vector Pt1···F4 and the normal to the coordination plane is 8.1?(2)°]. This interaction characterizes many Pt complexes devoid of steric hindrance in the apical position; F4 is indeed located on the side opposite the cumbersome quinoline system. As is the case with most cationic complexes, the cations of (I) are held together mainly through interactions with anion and solvent groups (Fig. 2).
