In the title 1:1 co-crystal, [PtCl2(C11H14ClN3O)2]·C7H5ClO, the coordination polyhedron of the PtII atom is slightly distorted square-planar with the chloride and 2,3-dihydro-1,2,4-oxadiazole ligands mutually trans, as the Pt atom lies on an inversion center. The 4-chlorobenzaldehyde molecules are statistically disordered about an inversion centre with equal occupancies for the two positions. The PtII complex forms a three-dimensional structure through C—HCl and weaker C—HO interactions with the 4-chlorobenzaldehyde molecule.
