The crystal structure of [Pt2(C3H3N2)2(C10H8N2)2](BF4)2.H2O, has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The six-membered ring consisting of the two Pt atoms and the four pyrazolyl N atoms has a boat-shaped conformation in which each Pt atom is located 1.14 (1) Å above the plane defined by the four pyrazolyl N atoms. The two platinum coordination planes are canted at an angle of 77.9(3)°, which is 8.1(6)° smaller than the dihedral angle between the two bipyridyl planes. The dihedral angle between the two pyrazole planes is 83.4(6)°. These angular strains are found to be caused by the intramolecular steric repulsion between the bipyridyl H and pyrazole N atoms.
