Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [PtCl₂(C₁₀H₉N₃)]·2H₂O, the square-planar platinum complexes form one-dimensional columns based on the --stacking interactions between the 4-amino-2,2'-bipyridine ligands, where the plane-to-plane separations are 3.45  (1) and 3.47  (1)  Å. The PtPt distances in the column are 5.1214  (7) and 6.1648  (7)  Å, suggesting no metal-metal interaction. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed among the water molecules, the amino groups, and the coordinated Cl atoms.
