Dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum(II) (Pt(cod)Cl₂) is an organometallic compound of platinum. This colourless solid, which is a commercially available, is an entry point to other platinum compounds through the displacement of the cod and/or chloride ligands. It is prepared from potassium tetrachloroplatinate and the diene:^[1]

K₂PtCl₄ + C₈H₁₂ → PtCl₂C₈H₁₂ + 2 KCl
