Di­chlorido­[N-(N,N-di­methyl­carbamimido­yl)-N′,N′,4-tri­methyl­benzohydrazonamide]­platinum(II) nitro­methane hemisolvate

In the title compound, [PtCl₂(C₁₃H₂₁N₅)]·0.5CH₃NO₂, the Pt^II atom is coordinated in a slightly distorted square-planar geometry by two Cl atoms and two N atoms of the bidentate ligand. The (1,3,5-tri­aza­penta­diene)Pt^II metalla ring is slightly bent and does not conjugate with the aromatic ring. In the crystal, N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds link the complex mol­ecules, forming chains along [001]. The nitromethane solvent molecule shows half-occupancy and is disordered over two sets of sites about an inversion centre.
