cis‐[1,2‐Bis(diisopropylphosphino‐κP)‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane]dichloroplatinum(II) dichloromethane hemisolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title complex, PtCl₂(C₁₄H₃₈B₁₀P₂)]·0.5CH₂Cl₂ or cis‐PtCl₂{1,2‐(PⁱPr₂)₂‐1,2‐C₂B₁₀H₁₀}]·0.5CH₂Cl₂, contains one disordered solvent mol­ecule and two mol­ecules of the complex, in which each Pt^II atom displays slightly distorted square‐planar coordination geometry. The P atoms connected to the cage C atoms are coordinated to the Pt^II atom. The Pt—P distances vary slightly 2.215 (3) and 2.235 (4) Å] and the Pt—Cl distances are equal 2.348 (3) and 2.353 (5) Å].
