The title compound, (C 6 H 14 N 2 )[Cu(C 2 O 4 ) 2 (H 2 O)]·2H 2 O, crystallizes in the space group P . In the solid state, the [Cu(ox) 2 (H 2 O)] 2− units (ox is oxalate, C 2 O 4 ) dimerize to give a tetragonally distorted CuO 6 coordination environment. Extensive hydrogen bonding between the oxalate, the coordinated water, the 1,4‐diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane dications ([dabcoH 2 ] 2+ ) and the water of crystallization determines the crystal packing.
