PtH8O4(SbF6)2 crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group. The structure is zero-dimensional and consists of one platinum tetrahydrate molecule and two SbF6 clusters. In each SbF6 cluster, Sb3+ is bonded in an octahedral geometry to six F1- atoms. There are a spread of Sb–F bond distances ranging from 1.91–1.94 Å. There are six inequivalent F1- sites. In the first F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the second F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the third F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the fourth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the fifth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom. In the sixth F1- site, F1- is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one Sb3+ atom.
