title: Bis(4,4'-bipyridinium) hexacyanoplatinate(IV) bis(4,4'-bipyridine).
abstract: In the title compound, (C10H9N2)2[Pt(CN)6].2C10H8N2 or [(Hbpy)+]2[Pt(CN)6](2-).2bpy, where bpy is 4,4'-bipyridine, the Hbpy+ cations and bpy molecules form a hydrogen-bonded two-dimensional cationic approximately square grid parallel to the (110) plane. The [Pt(CN)6]2- dianions reside in the cavities within this grid, with the nitrile N atoms forming weak hydrogen bonds with the CH groups in the cationic lattice.
