J.-L. Lin and W. Xu

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cu₂(C₄H₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₄]C₄H₄O₄·12H₂O, C₁₀H₈N₂), the centrosymmetic dinuclear cations, succinate anions and water molecules are hydrogen bonded into layers parallel to (010). The Cu atom is square-pyramidally coordinated by one atom of the succinato ligand and four N atoms of two 2,2'-bipyridine ligands. The 12 water molecules form a new type of water cluster.
