Cis-Dichloridobis(triphenyl-phosphine-κP)platinum(II) chloro-form solvate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(18)H(15)P)(2)]·CHCl(3), each Pt(II) centre adopts a nearly square-planar coordination geometry formed by two P atoms [Pt-P = 2.2481 (17) and 2.2658 (19) Å] and two Cl anions [Pt-Cl = 2.3244 (19) and 2.3548 (17) Å]. The Cl atoms of the chloro-form solvent mol-ecule are disordered over two orientations in a 0.778 (11):0.222 (11) ratio. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, exhib-iting voids with a volume of 215 Å(3).
