Co-crystallization between a thymine and a metal complex connected by triple hydrogen bonds

A co-crystal between bis(dithiobiureto)platinum(II) ([Pt(dtb)2]) with thymine is synthesized and characterized. The crystalline structure of [Pt(dtb)2](thymine)2 shows two-dimensional arrays created by hydrogen-bonding interactions. One mononuclear complex and two thymine molecules form a building unit connected by triple hydrogen bond employing ADA-DAD arrangements (A, hydrogen bond acceptor; D, hydrogen bond donor).
