Tetraaquabis(4,4'-bipyridine)copper(II) 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate trihydrate

J. Tao, R.-B. Huang, L.-S. Zheng and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The Cu atom in [Cu(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₄](C₁₂H₆O₄)·3H₂O exists in a trans-N₂O₄ octahedral coordination polyhedron that is formed by the N atoms of two 4,4'-bipyridine heterocycles and the O atoms of four water molecules. The carboxylate groups of the centrosymmetric anions interact indirectly with the Cu atoms through the coordinated water molecules. The cations and anions are linked by hydrogen bonds into a network motif. The Cu atom lies at a site of 2 symmetry.
