The title compound, C(10)H(10)N(2) (2+)·C(10)H(8)O(4) (2-), has inversion centres located at the geometric centres of the 1,4-phenyl-enediacetate anion and 4,4'-bipyridinium cation. The anions and cations are connected by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming one-dimensional supra-molecular chains, which inter-act with each other via π-π inter-actions [centroid-centroid distance = 3.938 (2) Å], building a two-dimensional supra-molecular sheet.
