Platinum(II)-ammonium chloride (Cat No.: M062214), commonly referred to as diamminedichloroplatinum(II) or cisplatin when in the cis isomer form, has the formula Pt(NH₃)₂Cl₂. It is a square planar coordination complex consisting of a platinum(II) center bonded to two ammonia molecules and two chloride ligands. Cisplatin is widely known for its role as a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat various cancers by binding to DNA and inhibiting replication. It also serves as a precursor in coordination chemistry and catalysis, enabling synthesis of other platinum-based complexes.
