The title compound, [PtCl(2)(C(31)H(32)NP)], is a Pt(II) complex with an NPCl(2) coordination sphere in which the Pt(II) atom is coordinated to the imino N and phosphane P atoms of the ligand and to two cis Cl ions, giving a slightly distorted square-planar geometry. The P-Pt-N angle is 89.80 (5)° and the corresponding angle between the Cl ions is 87.92 (2)°.
