Abstract
In the title compound, [Pt{Ph2P(CH2)3PPh2}2]Cl2·5CHCl3, the PtII cations, located on a centre of inversion, is coordinated by two chelating diphosphane ligands in a geometry which is close to square-planar. The chelate rings adopt a chair conformation. The PtII cations are arranged in layers separated by Cl− anions as well as CHCl3 solvent molecules. While this complex has been reported previously [Anderson et al. (1983 ▸). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 76, L251–L252], this is the first time a structure has been determined.
