catena-Poly[[aquacopper(II)]--[(S)-N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-L-aspartato]]

L. Zhang and B.-W. Sun

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₁NO₅)(H₂O)]_n, was obtained by the reaction of Cu(NO₃)₂ and the homochiral organic ligand (S)-N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-L-aspartic acid (S-H₃sasp). The Cu^II ion has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry and is coordinated by one N atom and three O atoms from the organic ligand and one O atom from a water molecule. The carboxyl O atoms of the ligands bridge the Cu atoms to form an infinite one-dimensional zigzag chain. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds link these chains into a two-dimensional arrangement.
