Chains of H-bonded water intercalated bis-amide pairs were found in the structure of {[Cu(cdc)2(OH2)]·H2O}∞ (1) (cdc− = carbamoyldicyanomethanide); specific hydration of one nitrile group of the cdc− ligands of 1 to give the previously unknown anion cyanomalonamidate (cyma−) as a ligand in [Cu(cyma)2]·H2O is possible.
