Dicyano(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-N,N')(η²-ethene)platinum(II)

In the title compound, [Pt(CN)₂(C₂H₄)(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)], the Pt atom has a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry, with the phenanthroline and ethene ligands in the equatorial plane and cyano ligands axial. A trans configuration of cyano ligands in such five-coordinate Pt^II complexes is unprecedented.
