Abstract: The title compound, C₁₀H₁₀N₂²⁺·2C₁₄H₉O₄S₂^-·2H₂O, was obtained by the reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂ with 2,2'-dithiodibenzoic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine in ethanol. The compound consists of hydrogen 2,2'-dithiodibenzoate anions, centrosymmetric 4,4'-bipyridylium cations and water molecules. Hydrogen-bonding interactions between the components lead to the formation a three-dimensional network.
