Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(HCOO)(-HCOO)_2/2(2,2'-bpy)]·HCOOH (2,2'-bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine, C₁₀H₈N₂), consists of formic acid molecules and [Cu(2,2'-bpy)(HCOO)(-HCOO)_2/2]_n polymeric chains; the chains have square-pyramidal Cu atoms bridged by formate anions. The polymeric chains are further extended into three-dimensional networks via interchain - interactions as well as C-HO and O-HO hydrogen bonds.
