The reaction of cis- with two equivalents of SnCl2*2H2O in acetone solution allows isolation of cis- as the acetone solvate, the crystal structure of which has been determined.Crystals of cis-*C3H6O are monoclinic, space group P21/c (No. 14) with four formula units in a cell of dimensions a = 10.288(3), b = 24.372(5), c = 15.367(3) Angstroem, β = 98.07(2).The structure was solved by heavy-atom method and refined by full-matrix least-squares calculations to a final R of 0.033 for 3761 reflections with I > 3?(I).The crystal structure contains discrete well-resolved cis-PtCl2(PPh3)2 molecules with acetone of solvation filling cavities in the crystal structure.The Pt coordination is slightly distorted square-planar with Pt-Cl 2.333(2) and 2.356(2), Pt-P 2.251(2) and 2.265(2) Angstroem, P-Pt-P 97.8(1), and Cl-Pt-Cl 87.1(1).
