title: {Bis[2-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)eth-yl]phenyl-phosphane-κP,P',P''}[(Z)-8-mesityl-cyclo-oct-4-en-1-yl]platinum(II) tetra-fluorido-borate dichloro-methane disolvate.
abstract: In the title ionic compound, [Pt(C(17)H(23))(C(34)H(33)P(3))](BF(4))·2CH(2)Cl(2), the Pt(II) atom adopts a square-planar coordination geometry with the large (Z)-8-mesityl-cyclo-oct-4-en-1-yl group occupying the fourth coordination site. The (triphos)Pt moiety and the mesityl group are attached to the cyclo-oct-4-ene motif at the 1- and 8-position in a syn configuration. The (BF(4))(-) anion and one of the dichloromethane solvate molecules each are disordered over two sets of sites.
