Abstract: In the title compound, [Pt(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₅H₆N₂)₂][Pt(CN)₄]·2H₂O, cations and anions alternate along the a axis, giving a one-dimensional chain of the Magnus green salt type. The electrostatic interactions between the divalent cations and anions, together with the - stacking associations between the 2,2'-bipyridine moieties, contribute to the stabilization of the crystal packing. Two different PtPt distances [5.2034  (6) and 4.5599  (6)  Å] alternate along the one-dimensional stack.
