Abstract: The title compound, [Pt(C₁₃H₁₀ClN₂S)Cl], contains a Pt atom tetracoordinated by a benzene C, a diazene N, a Cl and an S atom in an approximately square-planar geometry. The molecules dimerize through a nonbonded SS interaction [SS = 3.523 (18) Å]. There are no hydrogen bonds and the crystal packing is stabilized by four intermolecular - interactions; the centroid-centroid distances are 3.804 (3), 3.638 (3), 3.804 (3) and 3.638 (3) Å, and the corresponding perpendicular distances are 3.369, 3.448, 3.406 and 3.466 Å.
