A new platinum–bromine cyclo­hexane­diamine complex from the family of cancer cytostatics

Another new substance from the family of Pt-based coord­ination complexes with potential use in cancer chemotherapy has been synthesized, crystallized and structurally characterized. In this compound {systematic name cis-dibromido[(1R,2R)-cyclo­hexane-1,2-diamine-κ²N,N′]platinum(II)}, cis-[PtBr₂(C₆H₁₄N₂)], there are two mol­ecules with very similar conformations in the asymmetric unit. The component species inter­act by way of N—H...Br and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds to give two-dimensional networks which lie parallel to the (100) plane.
