Abstract: In the title compound, {[Cu(C₁₀H₁₄N₄)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂}_n, the Cu^II ion lies on an inversion center and is six-coordinated in an octahedral environment by four N atoms from four different 1,1'-butane-1,4-diyldiimidazole ligands and two O atoms from the two water molecules. Bridging by the ligands results in a ribbon structure. Adjacent ribbons are linked to the nitrate anions via O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming layers. One nitrate O atom is disordered equally over two positions.
