Poly[methylamine--oxalato-copper(II)]

T. D. Keene, M. B. Hursthouse and D. J. Price

Abstract: The six-coordinate copper(II) ions in the title compound, [Cu(C₂O₄)(CH₅N)], experience a Jahn-Teller distortion. The structure is a two-dimensional coordination network, with three crystallographically independent oxalate ions, two of them centrosymmetric, bridging Cu^II ions in three different coordination modes. Each Cu ion is also coordinated by methylamine which is involved in both intra- and interlayer hydrogen bonding.
