Cisplatin, also called cis-diamminedichloroplatinum(II), is a molecule made up of 11 atoms. Cisplatin's chemical formula is H6Cl2N2Pt. The molecular shape is square planar, with the bond angles around the center molecule (which is Pt) equaling 90 degrees (see Figure 2). The bond angles between the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms are approximately 109.5 degrees (see Figure 2).
