Abstract

In the mol­ecule of the title compound, [Pt(C14H12N2)(C2H4D4N2)]Cl2·3D2O, the complex dication has square-planar coordination to the PtII atom from N-donor atoms. A small tilt of 4.34 (6)° is observed between the plane of the phenanthroline (phen) ligand and the coordination plane. The phen ligands are assembled along [010], with π–π stacking inter­actions between phen ligands of inter­leaved complexes. The structure also reveals hydrogen-bond inter­actions between the complex ion, its counter-ions and the solvent mol­ecules. The introduction of methyl residues onto the phen ligand at positions 4 and 7 does not appear to alter the geometry of the complex significantly.
