The mol-ecule of the title binuclear copper(II) complex, [Cu(2)(C(14)H(8)O(4))(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], is bis-ected by a crystallographic twofold axis. Each Cu(II) atom is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by three O atoms from two biphen-yl-2,2'-dicarboxyl-ate anions, one aqua O atom and two N atoms of a 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand. Intramolecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and the carboxylate O atoms are also present. ...[more]
