Abstract
In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Pt(C9H6NS)(2)], althou gh the aromatic ligands are coordinated to a central heavy metal stem. T-shaped and shifted pi-stacked arrangements of the aromatic moieties are preferred, leading to a sandwich herring-bone type of crystal-pac king motif. The crystal structure is therefore consistent with the vie w that the arene-arene interactions are determined by electrostatics ( multipole-multipole).
