Aquabis[4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoato-κO]bis(pyridine-κN)copper(II)
Abstract
In the title molecule, [Cu(C8H7O2S)2(C5H5N)2(H2O)], the CuII ion is pentacoordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry by two O atoms of two 4-(methylsulfanyl)benzoate anions and two N atoms of two pyridine ligands and a water O atom situated at the apical site. In the crystal structure, O—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules into chains along the b axis.
