In the racemic title compound, [PtCl2(C23H20NO2P)(C6H15P)].CH2Cl2, the platinum(II) ion which has approximately square planar geometry is coordinated to two different monophosphorus ligands in a cis arrangement along with two chloride ions. A significant shortening of the P-N bond [1.604 (7) Å] relative to that in phosphinoamines and their complexes was observed.
