title: (Acetato-κO)(2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')trimethyl-platinum(IV) monohydrate.
abstract: In the title hydrate, [Pt(CH(3))(3)(CH(3)COO)(C(10)H(8)N(2))]·H(2)O, the Pt(IV) atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry built up by three methyl ligands in a facial arrangement, a bipyridine ligand and a monodentately bound acetate ligand. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed between the water mol-ecule and the platinum complex, which link the mol-ecules into chains along the c axis.
