Abstract: The title compound, [Pt(C₁₅H₁₈NO₂S)Cl], was obtained by the cyclometallation reaction of cis-bis(benzonitrile)dichloridoplatinum(II) with N-benzylidene-L-methionine allyl ester in refluxing toluene. The Pt^II atom has a square-planar geometry and is tetra-coordinated by the Cl atom and the C, N and S atoms from the benzylidene methionine ester ligand. In the crystal structure, the S atoms show opposite chiral configurations with respect to the -carbon of the methionine, reducing steric repulsion between the methyl and allyl ester groups.
