Tetra-kis(azido-κN)(di-2-pyridyl-amine-κ(2)N(2),N(2'))platinum(IV).

In the title complex, [Pt(N(3))(4)(C(10)H(9)N(3))], the Pt(IV) ion is six-coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment by the two pyridine N atoms of the chelating di-2-pyridyl-amine (dpa) ligand and four N atoms from four azide anions. The dpa ligand is not planar, the dihedral angle between the pyridine rings being 20.0 (3)°. The azide ligands are slightly bent [N-N-N = 173.5 (8)-175.1 (8)°]. In the crystal, the complex mol-ecules are connected by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along the b axis. An inter-molecular π-π inter-action between the chains is also present, the ring centroid-centroid distance being 3.713 (4) Å.
