Tetraaquabis[3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionato-[kappa]O]copper(II) dihydrate

Y.-H. Xiao, L.-L. Kong and S. Gao

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C10H9O5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, is a neutral mononuclear complex. The CuII ion, which lies on an inversion center, displays an octahedral coordination geometry defined by two carboxylate O atoms of two different 3-(4-carboxyphenoxy)propionate ligands and four water molecules. The crystal structure is stabilized through strong O-H...O hydrogen bonds involving uncoordinated carboxylic acid groups, and coordinated and solvent water molecules, leading to a three-dimensional network. The O...O separations range from 2.623 (3) to 2.909 (3) Å and O-H...O angles range from 163 (4) to 179 (4)°.
