New linear chain mixed metal compounds: complex salts of [Pt(CNMe)4]2+

The X-ray crystal structures of the salts [Pt(CNMe)4][Pd(mnt)2], [Pt(CNMe)4][Pd(mnt)2]2·2MeCN and [Pt(CNMe)4][Au(mnt)2]2·MeCN [mnt = 1,2-S2C2(CN)2] show a variety of stacking and layer motifs in the solid state; inter-complex interactions lead to low-dimensional molecular aggregates.
