In the title compound, [CeCl2(C10H8N2O2)2(H2O)3]Cl·H2O, each CeIII atom is coordinated by six O atoms [Ce—O = 2.454 (3)–2.454 (3) Å] and two chloride ions [Ce—Cl = 2.8277 (9) and 2.8721 (9) Å] in a distorted tetragonal‐antiprismatic geometry. One of the 4,4′‐bipyridine N,N′‐dioxide ligands acts as a bridging ligand while the other acts a terminal ligand, leading to the formation of a linear polymeric structure. In the crystal structure, adjacent polymeric chains are cross‐linked by O—H...O and O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional network.
