Abstract: The title compound, [PtCl(C₃₂H₂₇P₂)], has a pseudo-square-planar coordination geometry around the Pt atom with the P,C,P'-tridentate ligand forming two five-membered rings that are tilted with respect to the coordination plane. The two Pt-P, the Pt-Cl and the Pt-C distances are 2.2794  (9)/2.2749  (10), 2.3831  (10) and 2.002  (3)  Å, respectively.
