Abstract: The title compound, [Pt₂(NH₃)₄(C₅H₉O₂)₂](SO₄)·H₂O, does not form an infinite chain, but has discrete dimeric cations in the crystal structure. The intradimer Pt-Pt distance in the pivalate dimer [2.9011  (9)  Å] is effectively shorter than that reported for the acetate analog [2.9713  (8)  Å], demonstrating the strong electron-donating property of the bridging pivalate ligand.
