Abstract: The title compound, {[Cd₂(CH₃COO)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·H₂O}_n, is a new metal-organic framework structure. The cadmium(II) ion has a distorted octahedral geometry. One of the acetate anions is coordinated to the metal atom in a bidentate chelating mode, whereas the other two anions act as bridges between adjacent Cd^II ions. The bipyridine ligands link the cadmium(II) ions, forming a ribbon structure. There is a centre of symmetry midway between the Cd atoms and a twofold rotation axis relating the pyridyl rings, and the water molecule also lies on a twofold rotation axis.
