Abstract: The title compound, [PtCl(C₄₂H₇₈OP₄)]Cl·0.5CH₂Cl₂·4H₂O, crystallizes as a contact ion-pair with two close intermolecular C-HCl^- contacts between CH acidic H atoms of the phosphane ligand and the chloride anion. A chloride ligand together with three coordinating P ligand atoms create a slightly distorted square-planar coordination environment around the Pt^II center. An intermolecular water O-HCl^- and water O-HOP hydrogen-bond network completes the coordination around the anion. In addition, a disordered CH₂Cl₂ solvent molecule cocrystallized within a hydrophobic cavity spanned by the dicyclohexylphosphane ligands.
