Abstract

The title compound, [PtCl 2(C 21H 33P) 2]·C 3H 6O, crystallizes with an accompanying acetone solvent molecule. The metal atom shows a distorted square-planar coordination environment, with a P-Pt-P angle of 172.41(3)° as the most prominent feature. Both isopropyl fragments were treated as disordered over two conformations with occupancy ratios of 0.55(2):0.45(2) and 0.58(2):0.42(2). The solvent molecule was also disordered over two orientations in a 1:1 ratio. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a twin component of 32.4%.
