Bis(benzimidazole-[kappa]N)bis(3,5-dihydroxybenzoato-[kappa]O)copper(II) trihydrate

X. Huang, L.-P. Xiao and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu(C7H5O4)2(C7H6N2)2]·3H2O, the CuII ion is coordinated by two benzimidazole (bzim) molecules and two 3,5-dihydroxybenzoate (dhba) anions in a tetrahedrally distorted square-planar geometry. Aromatic [pi]-[pi] stacking is observed between parallel bzim ligands and between roughly parallel bzim and dhba units. An extensive O-H...O and N-H...O hydrogen-bonding network helps to consolidate the crystal structure.
