space group C 2/c with a= 17.262 (5) Å, b= 9.388 (2) Å, c= 7.557 (2) Å, β= 113.47 (2)∘, and
Z= 4. The complex is isomorphous to the monomeric copper derivative, Cu (bipy) Br 2. The
195 Pt NMR spectrum shows the typical line broadening effect caused by coordinated
nitrogen-14. The complex resonates at− 1897 ppm with a half-height peak width of 1300 Hz.
The structure is compared with the analogous structures Pt (bipy)(X) 2 (X= Cl and I) and Pd …
