The Pt atom has square-planar coordination in the title complex, [Pt(C12H16)(C18H15P)2].0.85C4H8O. The bidentate ligand is not in the plane of coordination, but forms an angle of 162.6 (3)° with it. The PPh3 ligands are in the cis conformation. The Pt-P lengths are different [2.311 (1) and 2.348 (1) Å] and the P-Pt-P angle is 94.77 (5)°.
