Synopsis: The crystal structures of monoclinic -, orthorhombic - and orthorhombic -Cu(H₂PO₂)₂ have been determined at different temperatures. Despite having different space groups, the structures of the - and -polymorphs are very similar. The structures of the polymeric layers in the -polymorph are quite different.

Formula: -, - and -Cu(H₂PO₂)₂
