What is it about?
A crystal structure of platinum(II) complex that we didn't expect to isolate and that shows a unique coordination for this type of complex.

Why is it important?
The results of these experiments show that coordination chemistry can still surprise you even when you been working with similar systems for some years.
Perspectives
Art on a molecular level is the organization of the atoms into an ordered complex captured in crystals that allow us to reveal the molecular structures. This aspect of chemistry has always been beautiful and magical to me.
