Abstract: The cis isomer of the square-planar title complex has been crystallized as the chloroform solvate, [PtCl₂(C₁₅H₁₈NP)₂]·CHCl₃. Comparison of the Pt-P and Pt-Cl bond lengths and the Cl-Pt-Cl and P-Pt-P angles with the known compounds cis-{Ph₂PN(H)R'}₂PtCl₂ reveals that the R' substituents have negligible effects on these structural parameters. Intramolecular N-HCl and intermolecular Pt-ClH-CCl₃ hydrogen bonds are evident in the title structure.
