In the structure of the title complex, [PtCl(C 18 H 15 P) 3 ]ClO 4 Á-2CH 2 Cl 2 , the coordination polyhedron with platinum as the central atom has a distorted square-planar geometry formed by three P atoms from three triphenylphosphine ligands and one Cl atom.

✦ Synopsis
A third modification of [RuCl 2 (PPh 3 ) 3 ] has been characterized, this time as the title compound, [RuCl 2 (C 18 H 15 P) 3 ]Á-0.5CH 2 Cl 2 . As seen for the previous modifications, the complex has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with an ortho-H atom 'blocking' the site trans to the apical PPh 3 ligand. There is no evidence for a strong C-HÁ Á ÁRu interaction nor any specific directional force in the solid state.
