Abstract

The title compound, (C12H11BrN)[Pt(C 4N2S2)2], is a new polymorphic modification, viz. the β-phase; the α-phase has been published recently [Ren et al. (2004). Inorg. Chem. 43, 2569-2576]. In the β-phase, the anions and cations form segregated columnar stacks along the a axis, which is similar to the α-phase. Compared with the α-phase, the significant structural differences in the β-phase relate to the molecular conformation of the cation and the stacking architecture of both anions and cations.
