title: cis-Diphenylbis(1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane-kappaP)platinum(II).
abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Pt(C(6)H(5))(2)(C(6)H(12)N(3)P)(2)] or [Pt(Ph)(2)(PTA)(2)] (where Ph is phenyl and PTA is 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), is discussed. Selected geometric parameters are: Pt-P = 2.2888 (16) and 2.2944 (17) A, Pt-C = 2.052 (5) and 2.064 (6) A, C-Pt-C = 84.6 (2) degrees and P-Pt-P = 99.28 (6) degrees. The effective cone angle for the PTA ligands was calculated as 113 degrees.
