Abstract: The title compound, [Pt₂(C₁₆H₁₁N₂)₂(C₁₈H₁₇N₂P)](ClO₄)₂, contains two Pt^II atoms, bridged by an N-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]pyridin-2-amine (dppmp) ligand. One Pt atom is coordinated by one P atom from the dppmp ligand, and one C atom and two N atoms from a 6-phenyl-2,2'-bipyridine (pbpy) ligand in a square-planar geometry. The other Pt atom is coordinated by one N atom from the dppmp ligand, and one C atom and two N atoms from another pbpy ligand in a square-planar geometry. There are intramolecular - interactions between the pbpy ligands, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.62 (1) Å between two pyridyl rings. The oxygen atoms of both perchlorate anions are disordered, each over two different positions [occupanicies 0.49 (3)/0.51 (3) and 0.48 (2)/0.52 (2)].
