Abstract: The improved synthesis and characterization of tetrapyrazineplatinum(II) bis(tetrafluoroborate) acetonitrile hemisolvate, [Pt(C4H4N2)4](BF4)2·0.5CH3CN, is reported. The unit cell contains a half equivalent of an acetonitrile solvent molecule per tetrapyrazineplatinum(II) ion. The coordination geometry of the PtII ion is almost square-planar, with the Pt atom residing on an inversion center. The BF4- counter-anion, located at a general position, has an idealized tetrahedral geometry and an acetonitrile solvent molecule, the methyl group of which is disordered over two equal positions, sits on a twofold rotation axis.
