A C-centered monoclinic modification of bis(di-2-pyridylmethanediol-³N,O,N')copper(II) diacetate tetrahydrate

Abstract: Di-2-pyridyl ketone undergoes hydrolysis when reacted with copper(II) acetate to form the title compound, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₀N₂O₂)₂](C₂H₃O₂)₂·4H₂O. The crystal structure consists of octahedral cations that are linked to the anions and to the uncoordinated water molecules, giving rise to a three-dimensional network structure. This C-centered monoclinic modification is less compact than the primitive monoclinic modification reported by Reinoso et al. [(2003). Acta Cryst. E59, m548-m550]. The Cu atom is located at a center of inversion.
