The complex cis-diamminedichloridoplatinum(II), commonly known as cis-platin ($[PtCl_2(NH_3)_2]$), is a well-known coordination compound used as an effective anticancer agent. It is specifically used to inhibit the growth of tumours. It is important to note that only the cis-isomer is biologically active against cancer, while the trans-isomer is inactive .
