chemical compound

'''trans-Dichlorodiammineplatinum(II)' is the trans isomer of the coordination complex with the formula trans-PtCl2(NH3)2, sometimes called transplatin''. It is a yellow solid with low solubility in water but good solubility in dimethylformamide. The existence of two isomers of PtCl2(NH3)2 led Alfred Werner to propose square planar molecular geometry. It belongs to the molecular symmetry point group D2h.
