(4'-Chloro-2,2':6',2"-terpyridine-N,N',N")(diethylphosphinothioato-S)platinum(II) tetraphenylborate.
The title compound, [Pt(C(4)H(10)O(3)PS)(C(15)H(10)ClN(3))](C(24)H(20)B), has a distorted square-planar coordination geometry at the platinum(II) centre, due to the constraints of the tridentate terpyridine ligand. The Pt(II)-bound diethylphosphinothioate ligand takes up a conformation to avoid non-bonding contacts with atoms H6 and H6".
