Abstract: The title coordination polymer, [Cu₂(C₈H₄O₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₃H₇NO)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, adopts a ladder structure in which terephthalate functions as the rails and bipyridine, lying on inversion centres, as the rungs. The Cu atom is also coordinated by water and dimethylformamide molecules in a square-pyramidal environment. Hydrogen bonds link the ladders into a three-dimensional network.
