Abstract: In the title dimeric complex, [Cu₂(Ac)₄(3-PyOH)₂] or [Cu₂(C₂H₃O₂)₄(C₅H₅NO)₂] (Ac^- is acetate and PyOH is hydroxypyridine), each Cu^II atom exists in a square pyramidal coordination environment, defined by four different acetate O atoms and one 3-hydroxypyridine N atom. Two Cu^II atoms are bridged by four acetate groups, and the center of the dimer corresponds to a crystallographic center of symmetry, the CuCu separation being 2.6598  (8)  Å. These dimeric units are linked via O-HO hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional layer supramolecular network.
