In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Pd2(C22H17N2)2(C12H12N2)2](PF6)2·C4H10O·H2O, two Pd(dmbpy) units (dmbpy is 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) are bridged by 4-benzyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazolate ligands in an exodentate fashion, which results in a clip-like cavity between the two Pd(dmbpy)Pd planes. A disordered hexafluoridophosphate anion is held in the cavity by an anion–π interaction [P—F... Cg1 = 3.435 (15) Å ( Cg1 is the centroid of the Pd–dmbpy chelate ring system) and P—F... Cg2 = 3.187 (15) Å ( Cg2 is the centroid of a pyridine ring)]. A crystallographic twofold rotation axis passes through an F atom of the disordered anion and the mid-point of the two Pd atoms. The P and two F atoms of the second anion also lie on a twofold rotation axis, as do the O atom of the diethyl ether and the water O atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by electrostatic forces between the cations and anions, and intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving hexafluoridophosphate anions (C—H...F), the solvent diethyl ether molecules and water molecules (C—H...O).

In the title complex, [Pd2(C10H12O4)2(C10H8N2)2](PF6)2--CH3CN, the PdII centers have a distorted cis-square-planar geometry defined by an O,O'-bidentate bisacetylacetonate dianion ligand and a chelating 2,20-bipyridine ligand. The crystal structure is stabilized by electrostatic forces between the cations and anions, intermolecular π-π stacking interactions between pairs of 2,20-bipyridine rings, and weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving exafluorophosphate anions (C—H…F) and the solvent acetonitrile molecules (C—H…N).
