Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pt(C23H17N2)Cl], contains two independent molecules with distinct dihedral angles between the central pyridyl and methylbenzene rings [7.77 (2) and 24.07 (2)°]. Short intermolecular distances [3.582 (6) and 3.600 (6) Å] between the outer pyridine and the PtNC3 and PtN2C2 rings, respectively, indicate the existence of π–π interactions, which link the molecules into stacks along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C—H⋯π interactions.

Summary
Technology, Hefei University of Technology, Ministry of Education, Hefei 230009, People’s Republic of China, and bDeparment of Chemistry, Anhui University, Hefei. R factor = 0.038; wR factor = 0.110; data-to-parameter ratio = 16.4. The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Pt(C23H17N2)Cl], contains two independent molecules with distinct dihedral angles between the central pyridyl and methylbenzene rings [7.77 (2) and 24.07 (2) ]. Short intermolecular distances [3.582 (6) and 3.600 (6) Å] between the outer pyridine and the PtNC3 and PtN2C2 rings, respectively, indicate the existence of – interactions, which link the molecules into stacks along the a axis. The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C—H interactions. Cg4 and Cg5 are the centroids of the Pt2/N3/C33/C34/C39 and C41–C45 rings, respectively
