In the title novel mixed-valence copper complex, {[Cu2(C8H2NO6)(C10H8N2)]·H2O}n, the CuI and CuII ions are linked by 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy) and pyridine-2,4,6-tricarboxylate (ptc) ligands into corrugated layers, which are assembled via interlayer C—H

The principal building units in the title compound, [Co3(C9H3O6)2(C10H8N2)4(H2O)10]·C10H8N2·8H2O, are the linear centrosymmetric tricobalt(II) complex molecules resulting from two square-pyramidal [Co(btc)(bpy)(H2O)3]− entities (bpy is 4,4′-bipyridine and btc is the benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate trianion) bridged by one trans-[Co(bpy)2(H2O)4]2+ unit. The trinuclear complex molecules are assembled into infinite chains through intermolecular O—HN hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between adjacent monodentate bpy ligands. The chains and uncoordinated bpy molecules are further assembled into two-dimensional open layers, which are stacked in a staggered manner to give a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture with the solvent water molecules in the cavities.
