The structures have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The supporting anions play an active role in the structural assembly process. An unexpected disintegration complex [Pt<sub>2</sub>(S<sub>2</sub>CH<sub>2</sub>)Cl(PPh<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>][PF<sub>6</sub>] (<b>6</b>) has also been isolated and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The mechanism of the formation of <b>6</b> is proposed.
