Diaqua[N-(5-nitro-2-oxidobenzylidene)glycinato]copper(II) dihydrate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cu(C9H6N2O5)(H2O)2]·2H2O, the CuII atom has a square-pyramidal coordination environment with a tridentate N-(5-nitro-2-oxidobenzylidene)glycinate Schiff base ligand and a water molecule in the basal plane. The apical site is occupied by an O atom from another coordinated water molecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, building a two-dimensional network parallel to (100).
