The anion coordination complex, [Cl Pt(bpt)4]Cl (bpt=N,N'-bis(3-pyridylmethyl)-2-thiourea), was synthesized and studied by X-ray crystal structure analysis, NMR and FAB mass spectre. In the solid state, the Pt(bpt)4 anion receptor adopts a cone conformation to bind the chloride anion through hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interaction in which the four branches of the thiourea ligands bind the chloride anion to form N-H...Cl- hydrogen bonds (3.49--3.81 A). The entraped chloride anion is situated above the Pt(Ⅱ) center at 3.52 A. Further second-sphere coordination assemby from the Pt(bpt)4 core with 8 zinc(Ⅱ) tetraphenylporphyrins (ZnPr) is discussed.
