The title compound, [Pt(C5H7O2)(C6H14N2)](C5H7O2), involves two independent acetylacetonate anions with different behaviour; one is a planar chelating ligand bound to the Pt atom in the square-planar coordination sphere, and the other is a counter anion with an E formation. The latter anion links between its carbonyl O atoms and the amino groups of the cationic complexes to form the hydrogen-bonded network.
