The title compound, [Pt(C23H14F2N)Cl(CH3CN)], comprises of a PtII atom in a distorted square-planar coordination, defined by a C,N-chelating 4-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2,6-diphenylpyridine ligand, a chlorido and an acetonitrile ligand. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between the H atoms of the 3,5-difluorophenyl ring and the acetonitrile ligand with Cl and F acceptor atoms of neighbouring ligands consolidate the packing.
