Abstract: The crystal structure of [Cu(C₁₁H₁₀N₂O₂)₂](C₂H₃O₂)₂·4H₂O reveals an extended O-HO hydrogen-bond network between helicoidal chains of water molecules and layers of [Cu(N,O,N'-dpkdiol)₂]²⁺ complex cations and acetate anions held together by means of carboxylate-diol hydrogen bonds. The cation has crystallographic inversion symmetry.
