Abstract: In the title polymeric compound, [Cu₂(C₈H₃NO₆)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, the unique Cu atom, the water molecule and the nitrogen heterocycle lie on mirror planes, and the disordered nitrophthalate dianion lies on a twofold axis. The Cu atom shows square-planar coordination as it is bonded to the O atoms of two carboxyl groups, to the N atom of a pyridyl ring and to a water molecule.
