Abstract: The title compound, {[Cu(C₂H₆NO₃S)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)]·C₁₀H₈N₂·H₂O}_n, was obtained by the hydrothermal reaction of Cu(CH₃COO)₂·2H₂O, 4,4'-bipyridne and taurine at 380 K. The 4,4'-bipyridine ligands bridge Cu^II ions, forming polymeric chains, in which Cu^II ions and the bridging ligands lie on twofold axes. Two taurine anions chelate to the Cu^II ion by the terminal N and O atoms, completing the distorted octahedral coordination. The uncoordinated bipyridine molecule is located on an inversion center.
