Violet crystals of [Cu(en){sub 2}][Pt(China){sub 4}] and blue crystals of [Cu(dmen){sub 2}][Pt(China){sub 4}] were crystallized from the water-methanol solution containing CuCl{sub 2}.2H{sub 2}O, ethylenediamine (en) or N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (dmen) and K{sub 2}[Pt(China){sub 4}].3H{sub 2}O. Both compounds were characterized using elemental analysis, infrared and UV-VIS spectroscopy, magnetic measurements, specific heat measurements and thermal analysis. X-ray structure analysis revealed chain-like structure in both compounds. The covalent chains are built of Cu(II) ions linked by [Pt(China){sub 4}]{sup 2-} anions in the [111] and [101] direction, respectively. The Cu(II) atoms are hexacoordinated by four nitrogen atoms in the equatorial plane from two molecules of bidentate ligands L with average Cu-N distance of 2.022(2) and 2.049(4) A, respectively. Axial positions are occupied by two nitrogen atoms from bridging [Pt(China){sub 4}]{sup 2-} anions at longer Cu-N distance of 2.537(2) and 2.600(5) A, respectively. Both materials are characterized by the presence of weak antiferromagnetic exchange coupling. Despite the one-dimensional (1D) character of the structure, the analysis of magnetic properties and specific heat at very low temperatures shows that [Cu(en){sub 2}][Pt(China){sub 4}] behaves as two-dimensional (2D) spatially anisotropic square lattice Heisenberg magnet, while more pronounced influence of interlayer coupling is observed in [Cu(dmen){sub 2}][Pt(China){sub 4}]. - Graphical abstract: Chain-like structure in [Cu(en){sub 2}][Pt(China){sub 4}] (R=H) and [Cu(dmen){sub 2}][Pt(China){sub 4}] (R=CH{sub 3}) compounds.
