cis‐Dichloro(dimethyl sulfoxide‐S)(2‐methoxypyridine‐N)platinum(II)

The title complex, [PtCl₂(C₆H₇NO)(C₂H₆OS)], exhibits square‐planar geometry. The plane of the pyridine ring makes a dihedral angle of 67.2 (3)° with the square plane of the metal center. The S—O bond is nearly aligned with the adjacent Pt—N bond, leaving the methyl groups of the di­methyl sulfoxide ligand to stagger the Pt—Cl bond.
