Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu(C₇H₃NO₄)(C₆H₆N₄)(H₂O)]·H₂O, the central Cu^II ion exhibits a distorted mer-CuN₃O₃ octahedral geometry arising from one water O atom, an N,N-bidentate 2,2'-biimidazole molecule and an N,O,O-tridentate pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate dianion. The crystal packing is stabilized by O-HO, N-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds.
