The complex [(n)Bu(4)N][Cu(H1)(2)]center dot H(2)O (H(2)1 = 3,3'-dihydroxy-6,6'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine) is readily formed from the reaction of H(2)1 with [Cu(MeCN)(4)][PF(6)] in the presence of [(n)Bu(4)N]Br; in the solid state the anion comprises a discrete dinuclear {[Cu(H1)(2)](H(2)O)(2)[Cu(H1)(2)]}(2-) unit in which two oxygen atoms of each [H1](-) ligand and two water oxygens form a chair shaped hydrogen-bonded six-membered ring.
