A mixture of Cu(NO3)2.3H2O(0.120 g, 0.5 mmol), pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid (0.087 g, 0.5 mmol), 4,4'-bipyridine (0.122 g, 0.5 mmol), NaOH (0.04 g, 1 mmol) and water (10 ml) was sealed in a 23 ml Teflon-lined reactor and heated at 473 K for 6 d. After cooled to room temperature at a rate of 5 K h-1, black crystals of the title compound were obtained (yield 52%). Analysis calculated for C20H12Cu2N6O8: C 40.60, H 2.00, N 14.25%; found: C 40.62, H 2.05, N 14.21%.
H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding, with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

Coordination chemistry of copper(II) complexes is a subject of continuing importance in connection with the structures and their magnetic properties (Tanase et al., 2005). Particular interest has been directed towards the investigation of the copper(II) complexes, which have been intensively studied as a result of the efforts to understand the factors that are responsible for the magnetic-exchange interactions between uncoupled metal centers (Sears & Wong, 1999; Thompson, 2002; Chaudhuri, 2003; La Monica & Ardizzoia, 1997). We report here the synthesis and structure of a coordination polymer assembled by pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acid (H3pydc), 4,4'-bipyridine (bpy) and CuII ion.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains one CuII atom, one pydc ligand and a half protonated bpy ligand. Two centrosymmetric CuII atoms are bridged by a pair of anionic pydc ligands, forming a binuclear unit. The binuclear units are further connected by O3 atoms of adjacent units to form a one-dimensional zigzag chain (Han et al., 2007). Each CuII atom is five-coordinated by three O atoms and two N atoms from three individual pydc ligands in a square-pyramidal coordination geometry (Fig. 1; Table 1). One intriguing feature of the structure is that there exist two bimetallic rings. One is a six-membered Cu2N4 ring with a Cu···Cu separation of 3.934 (3) Å. The other is a four-membered Cu2O2 ring with a Cu···Cu separation of 3.399 (3) Å. This short Cu···Cu separation is very similar to the distance observed in a structurally related copper complex recently reported (Koomen-Van Oudenniel et al., 1989). Another interesting feature is that the zigzag chains are further extended into a three-dimensional supramolecular network (Fig. 2) though N—H···O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate O atoms of the anionic [Cu2(pydc)2] units and the protonated bpy molecules (Table 2).
