Q.-H. Zhao, L. Zhang, L. Du and R.-B. Fang

Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₃H₁₁N₂O)(C₂N₃)]·H₂O, is a mononuclear copper(II) complex in which the Cu^II ion has a slightly distorted square-planar geometry and is coordinated by two N atoms and one O atom from the Schiff base ligand and by an N atom from dicyanamide. The O atoms of water molecules contribute to O-HN, O-HO hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of sheets parallel to the ac plane. There are also weak interactions between inversion-related molecules.
