Abstract: The intradimer Pt-Pt distance [3.0928 (9) Å] in the title compound, [Pt₂(-C₅H₉O₂)₂(NH₃)₄](ClO₄)₂·C₅H₁₀O₂, is much longer than that reported for [Pt₂(-C₅H₉O₂)₂(NH₃)₄](SO₄)·H₂O [2.9011 (9) Å; Sakai, Ishigami, Yokokawa, Kajiwara & Ito (2003). Acta Cryst. E59, m443-m445]. The complex cation has a crystallographic mirror plane perpendicular to the Pt-Pt bond. The crystal packing is stabilized by both the hydrophilic and hydrophobic layers, which stack alternately along the c axis.
