| Summary: | In the title complex, cis-[PtCl2(C11H9N)2], the PtII ion is situated in a slightly distorted square-planar environment coordinated by two N atoms from two 2-phenylpyridine ligands and two Cl atoms. The two pyridyl planes are inclined with dihedral angles of 59.1 (2) and 61.84 (19)° with respect to the PtCl2N2 plane. In the crystal, the complex molecules display inter- and intramolecular π–π stacking interactions, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.806 (5)–3.845 (5) Å, which form a one-dimensional column structure along the a axis.
