Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₆H₈O₄S₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the 3,3'-dithiodipropionate anion, which acts as a bridge, is tetradentate to di-2-pyridylamine-coordinated copper(II) ions, forming a polymeric helical chain. The geometry of the copper(II) ion is that of a distorted octahedron. There are hydrogen bonds between two adjacent helical chains.
