In the centrosymmetric dinuclear mol­ecule of the title compound, [Cd2(C14H8O4)2(C10H8N2)2(H2O)2], the Cd2+ ion is coordinated by three O atoms from two different diphenyl­dicarboxyl­ate (dpa) ligands (one O,O′-bidentate and one monodentate), a chelating bipyridine ligand and a water mol­ecule, generating an extremely distorted trigonal-prismatic (or irregular) CdN2O4 coordination geometry for the metal ion. The bridging ligands generate an 18-membered ring, which is stabilized by two pairs of intra­molecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds.
