A new 1D chain copper coordination polymer [Cu-2(H2L)(2)(C10H8N2)(H2O)(2)](n)center dot 3n(H2O) with 2,3-pyridinedi carboxylic acid (H2L) and 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy) as ligands has been synthesized in the mixed ethanol and water solvents. Crystal data for this complex are as follows: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 7.7713(7), b = 27.478(3), c = 13.2621(13) angstrom, beta = 100.6940(10)degrees, V = 2782.8(5) angstrom(3), D-c = 1.722 g/cm(3), Z = 4, mu = 1.61 mm(-1), F(000) = 1472, the final R = 0.0363 and wR = 0.0933. In the crystal structure, the whole molecule consists of two cooper ...
