The reaction of [Pd(MeCN)4](BF4)2 with 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpm) in MeCN–CHCl3 afforded the title compound, [Pd(C8H6N4)2](BF4)2·C2H3N. The asymmetric unit contains two half complexes, with the PdII atoms both lying on a twofold axis. Each metal atom adopts a tetrahedrally distorted square-planar geometry. In the crystal, [Pd(bpm)2] dications are linked by C—H
N hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the b axis. The chains are further linked by C—HF and C—HN interactions involving the tetrafluoroborate anions and acetonitrile molecules. In this way, each chain interacts with six surrounding chains to generate the observed three-dimensional structure.
