In the title compound, trans-[RhCl(C20H17P)2(CO)], the RhI atom is situated on a center of symmetry, resulting in a statistical 1:1 disorder of the chloride [Rh—Cl = 2.383 (2) Å] and carbonyl [Rh—C = 1.752 (7) Å] ligands. The distorted trans square-planar environment is completed by two P atoms [Rh—P = 2.3251 (4) Å] from two diphenyl(4-vinylphenyl)phosphane ligands. The vinyl group is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.668 (10):0.332 (10) ratio. The crystal packing exhibits weak C—HCl and C—HO hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the phenyl rings of neighbouring molecules, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.682 (2) Å.

The title compound, [PtCl2(C18H12Cl3P)2]·C2H3N, packs as monomeric units with a square-planar geometry around the PtII atom. The two tris(4-chlorophenyl)phosphane ligands are coordinated in a cis orientation, with P—Pt—P and Cl—Pt—Cl angles of 99.36 (2) and 88.02 (2)°, respectively. In the crystal, C—HN interactions are observed between the phenyl rings and the acetonitrile solvent molecules.
