Abstract: The bridged dinuclear platinum(IV) complexes [(PtXMe3)2(μ-pydz)] (X = Cl, Br, I) were isolated as minor products from the reaction between pyridazine (pydz) and the halogenotrimethylplatinum(IV) tetramers. The X-ray crystal structure of the iodo complex reveals both a double halide bridge and a pyridazine bridged structure with a Pt⋯Pt non-bonded distance of 3.5937(5) Å. The platinum atoms show only a slight deviation from an idealized octahedral geometry, but the structure is folded in the equatorial plane by 51.5° to accommodate the iodines between the two platinum moieties.
