This review classifies and analyzes heterooligo- and heteropolynuclear Pt complexes in the presence of non-transition metals as partners. There is a wide variability of metal combinations: Pt6M, Pt2M5, Pt3Hg2Ru2; Pt6M2, Pt4Zn4, Pt2Hg6, PtHgAu6, PtHg2Au5; Pt6Hg4, Pt3HgRu6, PtHgAu8; Pt2Sn9, PtHg2Au8; Pt8Ge4, Pt8Sn4 and {PtM}n. The complexes crystallized in the following crystal classes: trigonal, orthorhombic (each 1 example)<tetragonal (6 examples)<triclinic (15 examples)<monoclinic (19 examples). The mean Pt-Pt bond length is 2.770 Å. The mean Pt-M bond length increased in the order 2.430 Å (M=Ga)<2.685 Å (Ge)<2.770 Å (Zn)<2.822 Å (Sn)<2.834 Å (Hg)<2.932 Å (Tl). This review together with the previous parts gives a comprehensive view on heterometallic Pt complexes with non-transition metals.
