In the title compound, [Cu(C6H3BrNO2)2(H2O)], the Cu atom adopts a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination arising from two N,O-bidentate ligands and a water molecule, with one N atom in an axial site and the other in an equatorial site. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring planes is 67.6 (2)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in chains propagating in [100].

1 mmol (200.9 mg) of 6-bromopicolinic acid was added to 0.5 mmol (132 mg) of CuCl2 in 10 ml of anhydrous alcohol. The suspension was stirred for ca 4 h and filtered. After keeping the filtrate in air for one week, blue blocks of (I) precipitated. The crystals were isolated, washed with alcohol three times and dried in a vacuum desiccator using silica gel (Yield 75%). Elemental analysis: found C, 29.79; H, 1.68; N, 5.78; calc. for C12H8N2Br3O5Cu: C, 29.81; H, 1.67; N, 5.79.
The H atoms were positoned geometrically (C—H = 0.93Å, O—H = 0.85Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The chemical and pharmacological properties of pyridine derivatives have been investigated extensively, owing to their chelating ability with metal ions and their potentially beneficial chemical and biological activities (e.g. Mann et al., 1992). As part of our studies on the synthesis and characterization of these compounds, we report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, (I), (Fig. 1).
The copper centre in (I) adopts distorted trigonal biyramid coordination geometry by being coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from the pyridine rings and three oxygen atoms from the ligands (Table 1). The dihedral angle of the two pyridine rings is 67.6 (2)°.
Analysis of the crystal packing of the title compound reveals the existence of intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl oxygen atoms and coordinated water molecule (Fig. 2), forming a one-dimensional chain parallel to the a-axis. The coordinated water molecule acts as a hydrogen-bond donor towards O1 and O4 of the adjacent complexes (Table 2), the carboxylate group that acts as an H bond acceptor towards the O5 via both of its O atoms O4 and O3 exhibits a delocalized π system with nearly identical C—O distances.
