Pt(CO)2Cl2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2_1/c space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of four Pt(CO)2Cl2 clusters. Pt(1) is bonded in a rectangular see-saw-like geometry to one C(1), one C(2), one Cl(1), and one Cl(2) atom. There are two inequivalent C sites. In the first C site, C(1) is bonded in a distorted linear geometry to one Pt(1) and one O(1) atom. In the second C site, C(2) is bonded in a linear geometry to one Pt(1) and one O(2) atom. There are two inequivalent O sites. In the first O site, O(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(1) atom. In the second O site, O(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one C(2) atom. There are two inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt(1) atom. In the second Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Pt(1) atom.
