Abstract :
In the title compound, di--cyanato-1:22 N:C;2:32 C:N-dicyanato-22 C-bis(1,4,- 7,10,13,16- exaoxacyclooctadecane)-16 O;36 O-1,3-dipotassium(I)-2-platinum(II), [K2Pt(CN)4(C12H24O6)2] or [K(18-crown-6)]2[Pt(CN)4], two transorientated cyano groups of the square-planar [Pt(CN)4]
2 dianion (Pt site symmetry 1) bind to one potassium ion each, which are additionally coordinated
by the six O atoms of 18-crown-6. No PtPt interactions occur in the crystal,
but very weak PtH contacts (2.79 A˚ ) are observed.
