In the title compound, [Ni(C12H7N2O4)2]·4H2O, the Ni atom is located at the centre of a distorted octahedron, formed by four N atoms and two O atoms from the same two tridentating chelated 6-carboxy-2,2'-bipyridine-6'-carboxylate (L) ligands. Face-to-face [pi]-stacking interactions between inversion-related pyridine rings with centroid-centroid distances of 3.548 (3) and 3.662 (3) Å (perpendicular distances between the respective rings are 3.314 and 3.438 Å) are found. Intermolecular O-H...O hydrogen bonds between water molecules and L ligands form R53(10), R65(14) and R55(12) rings and also a centrosymmetric cage-like unit of water molecules, which link eight adjacent NiII centers, forming a three-dimensional framework.
