Hydrothermal treatment of aqueous mixtures of copper(II) halides and 3,3′‐bipyridine (3,3′‐bpy) has afforded the coordination polymers [CuCl(3,3′‐bpy)] n ( 1 ) and [Cu 2 Br 2 (3,3′‐bpy)] n ( 2 ), which were analyzed via single crystal X‐ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. The structure of 1 consists of two‐dimensional (2‐D) layers constructed from the linkage of castellated one‐dimensional (1‐D) [CuCl] n stepped chains through anti ‐conformation 3,3′‐bpy tethers. Compound 2 presents a related 2‐D sheet motif, albeit built from infinite 1‐D [Cu 2 Br 2 ] n ladders strutted by 3,3′‐bpy ligands in anti conformation. In both cases neighboring 2‐D sheets stack into 3‐D via weak C–H···halogen interactions.
