Abstract
In the mononuclear title complex, [Pt(C7H7)2(C8H12)], the PtII ion exhibits a square-planar coordination geometry defined by two methylphenyl ligands and the mid-points of the two π-coordinated double bonds of cycloocta-1,5-diene. The two methylphenyl groups have a cis relationship with a C—Pt—C bond angle of 88.54 (18)° and a dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene rings of 83.87 (1)°. Each complex molecule links to four symmetry-related ones through intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions, forming a layer almost parallel to the bc plane.
