A novel PtII–dibenzo‐18‐crown‐6 (DB18C6) complex

The novel Pt^II–dibenzo‐18‐crown‐6 (DB18C6) title complex, μ‐tetrakis­(thio­cyanato‐S)­platinum(II)]‐N:N′‐bis{2,5,8,­15,18,21‐hexa­oxa­tri­cyclo­20.4.0.1^9,14]­hexa­cosa‐1(22),9(14),10,12,23,25‐hexaene‐κ⁶O]­potassium(I)}, K(C₂₀H₂₄O₆)]₂Pt(SCN)₄], has been isolated and characterized by X‐ray diffraction analysis. The structure analysis shows that the complex displays a quasi‐one‐dimensional infinite chain of two K(DB18C6)]⁺ complex cations and a Pt(SCN)₄]^2? anion, bridged by K⁺?π interactions between adjacent K(DB18C6)]⁺ units.
