Herein we report synthesis of a new brucite type copper hydroxide squarate, Cu 3 (OH) 2 (C 4 O 4 ) 2 ·4H 2 O [ P 2 1 / c , a = 5.6437(4) Å, b = 12.8357(9) Å, c = 9.1507(6) Å, β = 95.892(1)° and Z = 2] by hydrothermal method, and its characterization by single crystal diffraction analysis as well as by IR spectroscopy. The rather wide spread of Cu–O bond lengths, can be primarily rationalised by the Jahn‐Teller effect, and secondarily by the connectivities of the CuO 6 octahedra.
