Dual Behaviour of Acetylacetonate Anions in the Hydrogen-Bonded Supramolecular Structure (Acetylacetonato-O,O')[trans-(1R,2R)-diaminocyclohexane-N,N']platinum(II) Acetylacetonate

The title compound, [Pt(C₅H₇O₂)(C₆H₁₄N₂)](C₅H₇O₂), involves two independent acetylacetonate anions with different behaviour; one is a planar chelating ligand bound to the Pt atom in the square-planar coordination sphere, and the other is a counter anion with an E formation. The latter anion links between its carbonyl O atoms and the amino groups of the cationic complexes to form the hydrogen-bonded network.
