There are disclosed antitumor active 1,2-diphenyl-ethylenediamine)-platinum(II)-complex of the general formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.7 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl and R.sub.2 is either (1) a halogen atom and the groups R.sub.1, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6 are the same or different and are hydrogen, halogen, trihalomethyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, hydrogen C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkanoyloxy or a halo or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanesulfonyloxy substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkanoyloxy group, or R.sub.2 is (2) a hydroxy group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy group, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkanoyloxy group in the 4-position or a halo or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanesulfonyloxy substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkanoyloxy group and if R.sub.2 is (2) then the groups R.sub.1 and R.sub.3 which are the same or differnt are in the 2 and 6 positions of the phenyl group and are halogen, trihalomethyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, hydroxy, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alklanoyloxy group or a halo or C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -alkanesulfonyloxy substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkanoyloxy group, with the proviso that R.sub.1 can also be hydrogen and the groups R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6 are the same or different and are hydrogen, halogen, trihalomethyl, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, hydroxy, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkoxy, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkanoyloxy group or a halo or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkanesulfonyloxy substituted C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 -alkanoyloxy group and X is the equivalent of a physiologically compatible anion and process of their production.
