A novel Cu (II) complex with α‐furan carboxylate and 2,2′‐bispyridine, [Cu(fura)2(bpy)(H2O)], is synthesized. Its crystal structure is determined by X‐ray diffraction analysis, and it belongs to the monoclinic system and space group P2(1)/c with CuO3N2 architecture. The crystal structural unit constructs distorted quadrangle pyramid geometry. The fluorescent and thermal properties of the complex were also studied.
