Abstract:
The title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(18)H(12)Cl(3)P)(2)]·C(2)H(3)N, packs as monomeric units with a square-planar geometry around the Pt(II) atom. The two tris-(4-chloro-phen-yl)phosphane ligands are coordinated in a cis orientation, with P-Pt-P and Cl-Pt-Cl angles of 99.36 (2) and 88.02 (2)°, respectively. In the crystal, C-H⋯N inter-actions are observed between the phenyl rings and the acetonitrile solvent mol-ecules.
