The potassium deficient cyanoplatinate complex, K/sub 1.75/Pt(CN)/sub 4/.1.5H/sub 2/O was prepared and the results of a single-crystal neutron diffraction study are reported. The basic repeat unit of the zig-zag metal atom chain was found to include three crystallographically independent Pt atoms. Bond angles and lengths are reported; a discussion of water molecule hydrogen bonding to cyanide ligands is included. (DDA)
