Abstract: In the title compound, [PtCl₂(C₂₅H₃₀N₂OP₂)]·CHCl₃, the urea ligand is P,P'-coordinated, leading to square-planar geometry at the Pt atom [bond lengths Pt-P 2.2102  (19)  Å to the Ph₂P moiety and 2.2275  (18)  Å to ^tBu(Ph)P; Pt-Cl 2.3658  (16) and 2.3658  (18)  Å]. The ligand bite angle is 89.41  (7)°. The chloroform molecule is associated with the metal complex via a hydrogen-bond system of the form C-H(Cl)₂.
