title: cis-Dichloridobis{[4-(dimethyl-amino)-phen-yl]diphenyl-phosphane-κP}platinum(II) ethyl acetate monosolvate.
abstract: The title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(20)H(20)P)(2)]·C(4)H(8)O(2), crystallizes with the Pt atom in a distorted cis-square-planar geometry. The Pt-P bond lengths are 2.2490 (19) and 2.253 (2) Å, and the Pt-Cl bond lengths are 2.344 (2) and 2.3475 (18) Å. Some weak C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O inter-actions involving the solvate mol-ecule were observed.
