Abstract: In the title compound, [Pt(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(C₁₁H₁₁N₂)](ClO₄)₃·H₂O, the PtN₄ coordination plane is distorted from a planar geometry owing to the relatively strong intermolecular terpy-terpy interactions, giving rise to a bent structure with respect to the terpy moiety (terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine). The coordinated pyridyl plane of N-methyl-4,4'-bipyridinium (MQ) is inclined by 81.7  (1)° with respect to the Pt coordination plane. The dihedral angle between the two pyridyl planes within MQ is 33.5  (2)°.
