The reaction of copper (II) nitrate with pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid, (pydcH2) and 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) led to the formation of the title compound, [Cu(C7H4NO4)(C10H8N2)(H2O)]NO3.H2O, or [Cu(pydcH)(2,2'-bipy)(H2O)]NO3.H2O. The crystal system of the complex is triclinic with space group P and two molecules per unit cell. The unit cell parameters are: a = 7.0438 (6) Å, b = 11.3215 (10) ...
