Abstract: The title compound, [Cu₂(C₂H₂IO₂)₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·0.5H₂O, is a copper(II) dimer, in which two Cu atoms are joined by two oxo bridges of iodoacetate groups. The distorted square-pyramidal environment of each Cu atom is completed by two N atoms of the 2,2'-bipyridine ligands (bpy), one iodoacetate O atom and two bridging iodoacetate O atoms. The dimer lies on an inversion center midway between the two Cu atoms.
