Abstract	The asymmetric unit of title compound, [Cd(C9H6NO2)2(C10H8N2)2]·0.5C10H8N2·2H2O, consists of one complex mol­ecule, one half of an uncoordinated 2,2′-bipyridine mol­ecule and two solvent water mol­ecules. The uncoordinated 2,2′-bipyridine mol­ecule is located on a center of symmetry. Within the complex mol­ecule, the CdII atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2′-bipyridine ligands and three O atoms from two 1H-indole-2-carboxyl­ate anion ligands, completing a distorted CdN4O3 penta­gonal bipyra­mid. The mol­ecules are assembled into one-dimensional chains along the [100] direction through classical hydrogen bonds (O—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O). The resulting chains are further connected into two-dimensional supra­molecular layers parallel to the (110) direction by inter­molecular classical hydrogen bonds (N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O) from adjacent chains. A three-dimensional supra­molecular network is formed via interlayer and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
