Abstract: In the title complex, [Pd₂(C₁₀H₁₂O₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂](PF₆)₂·CH₃CN, the Pd^II centers have a distorted cis-square-planar geometry defined by an O,O'-bidentate bisacetylacetonate dianion ligand and a chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligand. The crystal structure is stabilized by electrostatic forces between the cations and anions, intermolecular - stacking interactions between pairs of 2,2'-bipyridine rings, and weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving hexafluorophosphate anions (C-HF) and the solvent acetonitrile molecules (C-HN).
