Abstract:
The title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(20)H(20)P)(2)]·C(4)H(8)O(2), crystallizes with the Pt atom in a distorted cis-square-planar geometry. The Pt-P bond lengths are 2.2490 (19) and 2.253 (2) Å, and the Pt-Cl bond lengths are 2.344 (2) and 2.3475 (18) Å. Some weak C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O inter-actions involving the solvate mol-ecule were observed.

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
