cis-Diammine(glycolato-κO,O)platinum(II).

The reaction of cis-[Pt(NO(3))(2)(NH(3))(2)] and sodium glycolate yielded the title compound, [Pt(C(2)H(2)O(3))(NH(3))(2)]. The Pt(II) atom, coordinated by two N atoms of ammine and two O atoms of the carboxyl-ate and oxido groups of the glycolate ligand, is in a square-planar environment. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected by inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
