Four new dinuclear platinum(ii) complexes possessing a combination of NHC and Py/4-Cl(Py) ligands are presented. Both classical and mesoionic carbene (MIC) ligands have been employed for the complexation. All complexes have been characterized using standard spectroscopic tools. The coordination of both classical NHC and pyridine ligands around the platinum(ii) center in complex [2] has been established by using single crystal XRD. � 2024 The Royal Society of Chemistry.enArticle10.1039/d3nj05731c
