Bromido(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)platinum(II) dibromidoaurate(I) dimethyl sulfoxide solvate.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound, [PtBr(C(15)H(11)N(3))][AuBr(2)]·(CH(3))(2)SO, exhibits infinite chains of {PtAuPt}(∞) metallophilic inter-actions along the b axis. Two cations and one anion stack in a trimer with a unique Pt⋯Au distance of 3.3361 (5) Å and Pt⋯Pt contacts of 3.4335 (6) Å. The remaining [AuBr(2)](-) anion forms no close contacts.
