A novel one-dimensional chain copper(II) coordination polymer {[Cu(2,2′-bipy)-(HPDA)](HPDA)(H2O)}n has been hydrothermally synthesized using pimelic acid, 2,2′-bipyridine and copper perchlorate in the mixture of water and methanol. The crystal structure was determined as a monoclinic system, space group P21/c, with a = 1.01139(14), b = 2.6898(4), c = 1.02105(14),β = 109.651(2)°, V= 2.6159(6) nm3, Dc = 1.412 g/cm3, Z = 2, F(000) = 1164, GOOF = 1.044, R = 0.0570 and wR = 0.1448. The copper ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms of one 2,2...
