A bipyridine-copper complex, μ-Oxalato-bis[(2,2'-bipyridine) hydrate copper(II) nitrate] : [Cu2(Bipy)2(H2O)2(C2O4)(NO3)2] with Bipy = 2,2’-bipyridine; C2O42- = oxalate, was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy. The structure determination revealed that the studied complex contains centrosymmetric doubly-charged dinuclear oxalato-bridged copper(II) cations, nitrate counter-ions and water molecules. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the complex has shown the presence of strong O-H…O and C-H…O hydrogen bonds together with non-classical weak C-H…π, π…π, π…lp/lp…π and lp …lp intermolecular interactions. Furthermore, theoretical calculations and structure optimization were carried out and their results are in agreement with the experimental geometric parameters. The NMR spectra and the MEP maps were also calculated and will be discussed in detail.
