Abstract:
In the title complex, [PtI(2)(C(13)H(9)N)(C(2)H(6)OS)], the Pt(II) atom is four-coordinated in an essentially square-planar environment defined by the N atom of the acridine ligand, the S atom of dimethyl sulfoxide, and two iodide ions. The dihedral angle between the nearly planar PtI(2)NS unit [maximum deviation = 0.083 (2) Å] and the acridine ligand [maximum deviation = 0.038 (6) Å] is 89.29 (7)°. In the crystal structure, the complex mol-ecules are arranged in a V-shaped packing pattern along the c axis and linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯O contacts into supra-molecular chains. There are also several inter-molecular π-π inter-actions between the six-membered rings, with a shortest ring centroid-centroid distance of 3.804 (5) Å.

The reaction begins with transferring a proton from the acid catalyst to one of the hydroxyl groups, producing an oxonium ion.
02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
