Abstract: In the title molecule, cis-[PtCl₂(C₆H₇N)₂], the Pt^II coordination plane has a distorted structure in which the cis-PtCl₂ unit is tilted by 4.3 (2)° with respect to the cis-PtN₂ unit. The two pyridyl planes are inclined at angles of 64.8 (1) and 77.5 (2)° with respect to the cis-PtN₂ unit, which is partly interpreted in terms of the intermolecular C-H(methyl)(pyridine) interactions in the crystal structure.
