Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]PF₆, comprises [Cu(NO₃)(bpy)₂]⁺ complex cations (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and uncoordinated PF₆^- anions. The Cu^II ion is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal fashion by two bpy molecules and one nitrate anion, which is coordinated in an equatorial position through one O atom at a distance of 2.148 (3)Å. The two axial Cu-N distances are similar (mean = 1.98Å) and are slightly shorter than the two equatorial Cu-N bonds (mean = 2.06Å). Longer CuO interactions exist between complexes, linking them into polymeric chains.
