An x-ray diffraction analysis (lambdaMo, 4158 reflections, anisotropic least-squares method, R = 0.041) of (Pt(MBA)(L-pro)Cl), where L-pro denotes the anion of L-proline, and MBA denotes ..cap alpha..-methylbenzylamine, has been carried out. The crystals are monoclinic: a = 8.070, b = 23.298, c = 8.369 A,..beta.. = 99.83/sup 0/, Z = 4, space group P2/sub 1/. The crystal contains two crystallographically independent molecules (I and II) of identical composition and similar configuration. The corners of the squares around the Pt atoms in molecules I and II are occupied by the N and O atoms of a proline ligand with bidentate coordination, a Cl atom (in the trans position to the O atom), and the N atom of the MBA ligand. The mean linear parameters of molecules I and II are: Pt-Cl = 2.292, Pt-O = 2.010, and Pt-N = 2.06 A. The chelate rings in complexes I and II have the form of an envelope, the point of whose flap is occupied by an N atom (..delta..N = 0.50 A on the average). The conformation of the pyrrolidine rings in complexes I and II is also on envelope with the C/sub delta/ atom on the flap (..delta..C = 0.59 A on the average). Complexes I and II are joined to form pseudodimers by two H bonds of the N-H...Cl type (H...Cl = 2.39 and 2.37 A; the N-H...Cl angles are equal to 142.2 and 162.7/sup 0/). The pseudodimers form layers parallel to the (010) plane by means of two H bonds of the N-H...O type (H...O = 1.99 and 2.00 A; the N-H...O angles are equal to 146.5 and 148.3/sup 0/).
