(Acridine-κN)(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)diiodidoplatinum(II)

In the title complex, [PtI2(C13H9N)(C2H6OS)], the PtII 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 PtI2NS 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 molecules are arranged in a V-shaped packing pattern along the c axis and linked by intermolecular C—H...O contacts into supramolecular chains. There are also several intermolecular π–π interactions between the six-membered rings, with a shortest ring centroid–centroid distance of 3.804 (5) Å
