Abstract: Crystals of the title compound, [PtCl₂(C₂₇H₃₆N₃P)₂], as the trans-isomer were obtained from the originally formed cis-isomer after standing for more than four months in solution. In the crystal structure, the Pt atom is located on an inversion centre, which makes the molecular structure similar to the triphenylphosphine analogue. The amino groups are pyramidal and do not interact with Pt atoms or hydrogen-bond donors.
