Diammine(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)copper(II)

J. Xiang, Y.-G. Yin and X.-C. Huang

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C₇H₃NO₄)(NH₃)₂], the Cu atom is coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry by a pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate ligand acting in an N,O,O'-tridentate chelating mode, and by two N atoms from two ammine ligands. A further long Cu-O bond involving a symmetry-realated molecule generates chains of molecules in the a-axis direction.
