In the title compound, [Pt(CN)(2)(C2H4)(C14H12N2)], the Pt atom has a
trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry, with the phenanthroline an
d ethene ligands in the equatorial plane and the cyano ligands axial.
A trans configuration of cyano ligands in such five-coordinate Pt-II c
omplexes is unprecedented.
