B. Ikram and Z. Fatma

Abstract: In the title compound, [CuCl₃(C₆H₁₆N₃)]·H₂O, the copper(II) ion is five-coordinated by two N atoms from the bidentate 4-(2-aminoethyl)piperazin-1-ium cation and three chloride ions in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. Intermolecular N-HCl and O-HCl hydrogen bonds build up an intricate three-dimensional network.
