cis-Bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) chloride(CAT: M077207), [PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂], is a square planar platinum(II) complex featuring two chloride ligands and two triphenylphosphine ligands in a cis configuration. This yellow crystalline compound is widely used in organometallic chemistry and catalysis, particularly in cross-coupling, hydrosilylation, and hydrogenation reactions. Its defined geometry and ligand environment make it a versatile precursor for ligand exchange and coordination chemistry studies. The complex is also of interest in anticancer research and photophysical investigations due to its structural similarity to biologically active platinum compounds.
