Summary:Six pentafluorophenylplatinum(II) complexes containing proton acceptor atoms (F) and pyridine-like aromatic ligands able to act as proton donors have been synthesized and characterized, with emphasis on the factors that mediate their supramolecular aggregation in the solid state--hydrogen bonds and pi-pi interactions. The crystal structure analyses of the mononuclear complexes cis-[Pt(C6F5)2(napy)](1), cis-[Pt(C6F5)2(CH2napy)](3), cis-[Pt(C6F5)2(2-ammpy)](5), and cis-[Pt(C6F5)2(2-bipym)](6) reveal the influence of D-HPt and D-HF (D=C, N) hydrogen bonding on the organization of molecules into stacks, which can be further interconnected to generate channels. The prevalence of hydrogen bonding over pi-pi interactions between aromatic rings in establishing the nature of the observed supramolecular aggregation is demonstrated.
