Diaquabis[2-(1-pyridyl)butanedioato-O]copper(II)

H.-S. Li, S.-L. Li and J.-F. Hou

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(C₉H₈NO₄)₂(H₂O)₂], consists of discrete Cu^II complex molecules, which are linked to each other by classical O-HO and weak C-HO hydrogen bonding. The Cu^II ion is located on an inversion centre and coordinated by two water molecules and two carboxylate groups from two 2-(1-pyridyl)butanedioate ligands, with a square-planar geometry.
