Bis(5-n-butylpyridine-2-carboxylato)copper(II)

L. He, J.-B. Yan, X.-X. Guo and W.-D. Song

Abstract: The title complex, [Cu(C₁₀H₁₂NO₂)₂], was obtained by the reaction of 5-butylpyridyl-2-carboxylic acid (fusaric acid), extracted from blasted leaves of Rhizophora stylosa, with copper(II) chloride in aqueous solution. The metal atom lies on a center of symmetry. The Cu^II atom is coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms and two N atoms from two different fusaric acid ligands, and displays a square-planar geometry.
