-4,4'-Bipyridine-bis[aqua(N-salicylideneaspartato)copper(II)]

B.-Y. Lou, D.-Q. Yuan, B.-L. Wu and M.-C. Hong

Abstract: The title complex has a binuclear structure, formulated as [Cu₂(C₁₁H₉NO₃)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]. It is a centrosymmetric molecule with both D- and L-sasp ligands (sasp is the N-salicylideneaspartic acid anion) coordinated to the Cu^II centers which are bridged by 4,4'-bipyridine. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds give rise to a three-dimensional supramolecular structure.
