The title compound, {[BaPt(CN)4(C12H26N2O4)]·0.5H2O}n, is a two-dimensional coordination polymer in which the sheets are oriented approximately parallel to the (overline{1}01) set of crystal planes. In the crystal structure, disordered water molecules (half occupancy) connect the sheets into a three-dimensional network via intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds. An N—H...N interaction is also present. The shortest Pt...Pt contacts are 7.5969 (4) Å by an inversion relationship and 7.6781 (4) Å by translation along the a axis.
