The syntheses and crystal structures of two bimetallic molecular compounds, namely, bis(6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)copper(I) hexafluoridozirconate(IV) 1.134-hydrate, [Cu(dmbpy)2]2[ZrF6]·1.134H2O (dmbpy = 6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridyl, C12H12N2), (I), and bis(6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine)copper(I) hexafluoridohafnate(IV) 0.671-hydrate, [Cu(dmbpy)2]2[HfF6]·0.671H2O, (II), are reported. Apart from a slight site occupancy difference for the water molecule of crystallization, compounds (I) and (II) are isostructural, featuring isolated tetrahedral cations of copper(I) ions coordinated by two dmbpy ligands and centrosymmetric, octahedral anions of fluorinated early transition metals.
