The crystal structure of [bis(diphenylphosphino)methane]bis(trimethylphosphine)platinum(II) chloride dihydrate, [Pt(C3H9P)2(C25H22P2)]Cl2.2H2O, contains [Pt(PMe3)2(dppm)]2+ cations with the PtII ion bound to a distorted square-planar arrangement of one chelating dppm ligand and two PMe3 ligands [Pt—P(dppm) 2.317 (6), 2.352 (7) Å; Pt—P(PMe3) 2.331 (7), 2.345 (7) Å]. A weakly interacting Cl− ion occupies an apical coordination site [PtCl 3.175 (7) Å] and a discrete Cl− anion is present to balance the charges. Two H2O molecules are also present in the asymmetric unit.
