The title compound, [Cu(H2PO4)2(C10H8N2)2(H2O)2], is a mononuclear complex in which the Cu atom is square-planar coordinated by two dihydrogenphosphate anions and two monodentate 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) groups, and by two more distant aqua ligands to complete a distorted octahedral coordination. Metal–metal bridging by 4,4′-bipy is blocked by intermolecular hydrogen bonding from the dihydrogenphosphate to the second N atom of 4,4′-bipy. The crystal packing is controlled both by additional hydrogen bonding between the aqua and phosphate ligands and by π-stacking. These hydrogen-bonding interactions create two-dimensional networks which are connected by the bipyridine ligands.
